YEAR 2 Semester 4 – Internship and Master Thesis
The last part of the curriculum during the second year of study is dedicated to a Master’s thesis combined with the Internship (30 ECTS). A thesis topic can be chosen at any partner institution of the consortium. The Master’s thesis is typically embedded into larger research projects conducted by research centres, or together with Industrial Associated Partner or in Supporting Partner. The topic and location (in the Europe area) of the Master's thesis is determined during the second year of studies. During the Semester 4, students will be able to:
