Mathematics Preparatory Course

There is a voluntary mathematics preparatory course offered before the actual program starts. Find more information here.

Pre-study internship

The degree program requires an 8-week-long pre-study internship. Although it is not mandatory to do the internship before the studies begin, it is highly recommended to do so, since students usually do not have eight weeks of semester break. Following the pre-study internship is a 6 week-long industry internship during the studies. Two of the three fields manufacturing, development and Service/Operations have to be completed after both internships, a field is completed after working there for 4 weeks. Find more information about the internships here.
