1. Purpose of the Professional Placement (OP):

• acquiring knowledge and experience from business (and other) practice,
• connecting theory with practice,
• experiencing real working life (workplace behaviour, regular schedule, responsibility for tasks, etc.),
• gaining a potential job opportunity (or internship).

2. Expected Conduct during the Placement:

• during the placement, you represent both the university and yourself — polite behaviour, appropriate clothing, and punctuality are essential,
• maintaining confidentiality when working with sensitive data (personal identification numbers, enforcement records, etc.),

4. What to Do If You Encounter a Problem During the Placement:

• Attention! The organisation where you complete your placement may terminate it (e.g., if duties are not fulfilled),
