Prerequisites

Below, students can look up the exact prerequisites for an internship at ORL based on their own study program. In general, we require students to have obtained at least 12 ECTS in ORL courses before they can enter our internship. In these 12 ECTS, ORL20306 Decision Science 1 is excluded: we assume all our students have taken this course (or a course that leads to similar skills and expertise) in their bachelor program. Note that the prerequisites for a master thesis or internship at ORL are similar. Should you have any questions concerning the prerequisites of our master thesis, please contact education.orl@wur.nl.
