This internship may be undertaken from the end of the 4th semester onwards. The duration of the ENM407 – Internship II is 20 working days. This internship may be undertaken from the end of the 6th semester onwards. The rules set out in the Faculty Internship Guidelines must be followed regarding the duration of the internship.

• Internship application → at least 1 month before the start of the internship
