Professional Practice
Overview
The completion of professional practice during the programme has been obligatory since 2010, according to the Training and Outcome Requirements (TOR). The practice can be finished in one run (during the summer), or in separate periods (in one-week units at least). The place can either be one of the University’s training establishments (university campus, government, laboratory, training school etc.) or an external company, chosen by the student and approved by his/her educating University institute. The completion of the practice shall be proved by the student’s appropriate certificate and a referral. This referral is evaluated by the head of the programme, or a teacher appointed by him/her. The completed practice shall be administered to the electronic study system by the Registrar’s Office.
The professional practice is a requirement to obtain the pre-degree certificate (absolutorium)!
