LM+ MASTER PROGRAMS

Master Programs “Plus” are learning tracks with focus on the student as an active player in the job life, working in one of the projects partners, companies/industries and organizations.

§  The LM+ idea is completely different from a Master Degree Program, as it comprises an internship or a stage in its study curriculum, and the working activity developed by the student will be considered as a part of an academic path focused on providing specific professional competencies.

During the chosen Master Program, the student will be enrolled for 5 semesters, instead of the standard 4, 2 of them spent as a learning experience in a firm or organization (which can also plan some time abroad).
