Our second-year students can participate in the “Training in Sector Program” of our University contributing to the sector-university collaboration and work one or two days a week all year long in the contracted companies to enchance their work experience and prepare themselves for the future. Their working period within this program is regarded as internship and they will be awarded a “Certificate of Education in Sector” providing that the 480-hour working period is completed.
Both our academic staff and students can benefit from the Erasmus exchange program at our Vocational School. As part of the Erasmus program, they can receive education at the universities in participant countries within the frame of bilateral agreements and regulations.
