In the follow-up Master's degree programme Applied Engineering for Industrial Practice there is an internship of 12 weeks in the 4th semester of study.

In the combined form, the same scope of the required practice applies as in the full-time form. However, work experience is usually counted on the basis of the students' work experience - see below.
