Students are encouraged to undertake a non-graded and zero-credit professional optional internship during their study. The aim is to help them discover their strengths and weaknesses, learn and apply working experience in a real-world industry setting, realise their responsibility as a team member and communicate with other people in a real working situation. The internship may last one to four months in the form of full-time or part-time employment or professional practice or placement during holidays of academic years (normally the summer break of year one study).
