Internships and work experience: The programme includes practical internships to gain valuable professional experience. These placements enable students to apply the knowledge they have acquired in the classroom in a real working environment and to expand their professional network.
Company visits and conferences: Company visits and conferences led by industry professionals are organised on a regular basis. These events give students a real insight into how companies operate and market trends.
