Complementing these courses, a number of joint activities are offered for all students enrolled in this specialisation, such as colloquia, excursions to companies, and informal meetings. 

YEAR 2

The second year of the programme consists of a compulsory internship (20 EC) and your master's assignment (40 EC). During the internship, you will learn how to apply the knowledge acquired in the first year in a corporate or institutional environment. Your master’s assignment will get you working independently on the solution of either a practical challenge from business or industry, or on a theoretical (open) question.
