Særligt for projektorienteret praktikforløb gælder det, at du skal have godkendt forløbet inden det starter. [Du kan læse mere omkring godkendelsesprocessen her]( https://intra.ruc.dk/index.php?id=43596 ””).

Overall content

The aim of the internship is for the student to acquire professional insights and proficiency in working with methodological and theoretical issues in Business

Management and Leadership and to gain professional competences in relation to concrete work tasks in a private or public company, organisation or association. The objectives are met by the student preparing an internship project that is to demonstrate the ability to work independently in a scientific manner with Business Management and Leadership and to reflect on the theory and methodology in relation to the job that the student has had in the company/organisation. In the project report, the students must describe and document the academically relevant elements of the research questions and work tasks they have been working with and reflect upon the practices that have been learned in the field, what they have learned professionally/academically and the relationship between practice and theory within the field.

Teaching and working methods

An internship’s scope is:

  • At most 400 hours, including both the internship itself and the internship project report
  • A preparation of an internship project report aiming to allow the students to demonstrate how they can reflect upon their own internship in the company/organisation and what qualifications they have used in the process. The report must be used to discuss the experience the students have gained during their internship - as opposed to working abstractly and analytically with similar research questions during their studies. The project report must refer to the relevant semester’s overall academic subject area.

The internship must be approved by the board of studies. Before the start of the internship, the student must apply for pre-approval of the company/organisation where they will be interning. When processing the application, the Board of Studies must ensure that the students will gain professional competences from the project-oriented internship which, in terms of scope and level, match the competences that could be gained from the ordinary study programme. If the application is approved, the Head of Studies will assign a supervisor. The students will be offered supervision during the internship.
