Internship
During the first year (second semester), students are provided with a valuable opportunity to immerse themselves in a research group from the host university or partners with a first short internship that typically spans two or three months.
Following this, during the second year, students engage in their master thesis project, which they can pursue in an academic research lab (only if affiliated with the consortium) or at a company anywhere in the world.
