The field trips include expert presentations by staff of the facilities visited and provide students with an opportunity to relate theoretical knowledge acquired during their studies to its practical application.
The student understands the practical application of knowledge acquired during their studies and is able to relate it to the real-world professional environment. The student gains a basic overview of the functioning of the visited institutions, workplaces, or facilities and their areas of professional focus.
