Course content

In the subject Internship and entrepreneurship, students must choose if they want to agree with a company to carry out an internship, or whether they want to plan and carry out the start-up of a student company. Depending on the choice, the process and implementation will be somewhat different, but much of the learning outcome should somewhat be the same.

The practice is based on the students themselves finding and making an agreement with a company to carry out 300 working hours with a presence in the company. The students are responsible for designing the application, CV and portfolio to be used in the work of applying for companies.

Entrepreneurship starts with the establishment of a student company, and focuses on the phases of idea development and business model, registration and operationalization of the company, product development, strategy and management, company shut down.
