AGDK14008U Academic internship
An academic internship can be part of the academic activities at the third semester. The academic internship can take up 15, 22,5 or 30 ECTS corresponding to a total workload of 412½, 619 or 825 hours.
An academic internship involves a contractual arrangement
between a student, a company/organization at which the internship
is to take place and the head of studies at Global Development.
The head of studies must pre-approve the relevance of the
internship and it is a prerequisite that the company/organization
where the internship is to take place provides a supervisor for the
intern.
The student will have an internship supervisor at Global
Development. The student should make arrangements with a
teacher at Global Development before the beginning of the
internship.
The allocation of hours for the internship is as follows:
Number of ECTS | 15 | 22½ | 30 |
Total hours | 412½ | 619 | 825 |
|
|
|
|
Teaching, reading, GD meetings | 50 | 75 | 100 |
Internship work | 287½ | 437½ | 605 |
Project report | 75 | 97½ | 120 |
The purpose of the internship is to give the student competences, skills and knowledge relevant for the job market. The internship may also serve as preparation for the thesis (this is however not a prerequisite).
A relevant internship is one which allows the student to do meaningful and mostly academic work in an organization/company. Furthermore the content of this work should be within the scope of the global development programme. This means that internships based primarily within a field that is not covered by the global development programme will not be accepted. An example could be if the internship is primarily based around communication or fundraising.
