As your internship will be 12 EC you will need to gather another 18 EC through electives.
Below you'll find a few advised schedules, which should not cause a delay in your study programme.
1. Part time internship
Choose one elective in each period. This gives you the opportunity to spend enough time on your internship during each period.
If you choose this schedule we recommend to choose at least the following electives:
2. Part time and full time combination
Choose two electives in period 1 and one in period 2. This way you can do your internship full time in period 2 and part time in period 3.
Disadvantage is that your internship will be interrupted by the holiday season and it overlaps with the 'end of year' rush.
If you choose this schedule we recommend to choose at least the following elective:
3. Full time 1
Start your internship in summer and finish it end of period 1.
Disadvantage might be that your company coach is on holiday the first weeks of your internship...
If you choose this schedule we recommend to choose at least the following elective:
4. Full time 2
Choose two (or three) electives in year 2. A third elective can be taken in period 3 of year 3.
