| Integrated training (INTRA) | 375 | training (INTRA) INTRA formally integrates the student's academic study with closely co-ordinated realistic jobs, based on the work abilities of the student and the objectives of each programme. The student develops an understanding of the professional, practical world of industry. Also, the blending of theory and practice increases student motivation and allows a clearer view of a career path. Students who do not obtain a company placement may be offered the possibility of working in research |
