Offer 1 with catalog number 4019819FNR for all students in the 1st semester at a (F) Master - specialised level.
Student operates minimum 4 weeks in a company or hospital (national or international).
The elective course “Internship in biomedical engineering” of the Master of Science of Biomedical Engineering is considered as a year course.
One can only register in MA2 for the elective course “Internship in Biomedical Engineering”. One needs to respect the registration conditions for the courses of semester 1 of MA2.
However, for the execution of the internship two different scenarios are possible
The student who wants to register for this elective course in MA2, has the option to execute the internship during the summer period between MA1 and MA2. The submission of the final report, the evaluation report of the external supervisor and the final evaluation (in the format of a presentation) need to be finished before the end of the examination period in which one wants to graduate.
