Content
The student must find the appropriate workplace on their own; alternatively, the student may select a challenged-based project and find a supervisor within the department. In cooperation with the student, workplace, and lecturer, an agreement/contract and plan are devised for how the internship and supervision are conducted. The evaluation will be made based on a report and presentation from the student. The report should contain a discussion of specified issues related to business practices. In the case the work is performed in a company, documentation certifying that the student performed the work accordingly is a requirement.
The course is normally conducted in the fall semester.
