It is possible to shorten the standard period of study from four semesters to three semesters by excluding the placement semester. Students who have fulfilled one of the following two requirements have the option to skip the placement semester:

• Proof of relevant professional work experience of at least one year after the successful completion of the Bachelor's degree and prior to the commencement of the Master's degree programme. This proof has to be submitted as a certificate from the employer and must include the type, duration and scope of the employment as well as the main focus of the professional activity. 
• Proof of a Bachelor's degree with at least 210 ECTS credit points

The shortened period of study must be communicated by the time of registration for the Master’s thesis.

It is recommended to complete an internship semester, as this is where the knowledge gained can be deepened and important connections for students' future careers are formed. The duration of 20 weeks ensures comprehensive insight into the company and the work areas.
