The degree includes an obligatory advanced internship or vocational orientation studies. The internship position is intended to be either in a research group or in a company working in a related field. The aim of the internship in the algorithmic bioinformatics subprogramme is to familiarise the student with real-world bioinformatics and with people working with it.
