Through individual internships and small groups, companies offer participants the opportunity to tackle real-life, complex problems, blending together the knowledge and skills from different functional areas. It is an opportunity to put theory into practice, broadening horizons and enriching management skills. This phase takes about 10 weeks from October to December and can be continued in January, after the end of the Master.
For this project requirement two options are available:
Group work (Field Project)
Selected companies offer students the chance to develop a full-scale, real consultancy project. Students work in groups of 3-5 students, as a consultancy team, with the assistance of a School tutor, interacting with the company staff.
The group project is a highly educational experience, in terms of both technical learning and teamwork.
Individual Project (Internship)
A select group of companies offers the opportunity to run individual projects with them. Students work at the company for about 8 weeks.
Students may also search for an internship on their own, if this suits their personal and career aspirations better. If so, however, they should secure approval from the Master Director upon presentation of a detailed internship proposal.
