WORK EXPERIENCE

The students have to accomplish a period of work experience with the aim of ensuring a practical initiation into and contact with the professional world. The evaluation of the ensuing report is included in the deliberations of the 3rd year. The reglementation with regard to the period of work placement is presented in the student's guide on work experience, available at the secretary's office for work placement. The students are strongly recommended to get informed about the organisation of these apprenticeships as early in the year as possible and they need to be formally registered at the work placement office.
