the corporate partnerships
Learning by working on corporate partnership projects
Right from the first year, the students become part of a team, working on a project, given by a national or international company.
Through the partnership projects the students are directly linked to the companies with strong ties.
During the partnership projects, the students get to know themselves and their preferences much better. This will allow them to have a better view of possible future professional activities.
