The student must find a suitable workplace. In collaboration with the student, the workplace, and the lecturer, a contract and a work plan will be established for how the internship will take place. The assessment is made on the basis of a report from the student and a presentation. The report shall contain a discussion of specified issues related to the practice, as well as documentation of work performed and signed timesheets.
The internship course is normally completed in the autumn semester. When participating in a competition that spans two semesters, the student will begin work during the autumn semester, but will be assessed in the course of the spring semester (i.e. the student should register for GEO360 in the spring).
