Project works can be completed in the areas of animal hygiene, animal welfare and epidemiology. As a rule, the internship lasts 3-4 weeks at a time. Please enquire about a date in a timely manner, as no dates can be allocated at short notice for organisational reasons.
Completion takes place via a short project-related report.
