In the third semester, students will have the opportunity to undertake an 14 weeks internship that will enable them to apply interdisciplinary approaches to practical challenges of globalisation and sustainable development within a global company or organisation. The internship provides a unique opportunity for students to strengthen their personal, academic and professional competencies. Students are expected to secure their own internship placement, which should reflect the programme’s interdisciplinary and international orientation, and respond to the needs and priorities of the host organisation. Throughout the internship, students will actively reflect on their experiences and make connections between theory and practice. This process is documented in an individually written academic report.

The internship should:

• Develop and build the personal, academic and professional capacities of the students by allowing them to research and manage an individual work project.
• Contribute an interdisciplinary perspective and be relevant to the needs and requirements of the organisation.
• Lead to the production of a written report, which relates to the taught elements of the programme and which fulfils the academic requirements of a Master's level programme.

You will be able to apply academic knowledge to a "real work" setting and gain practical experience of day to day workings. The internship will give you the opportunity to develop and build your academic and professional capacities in relation to practical applications of knowledge gained through the programme's taught courses.

The experience of working within a highly regarded global organisation or corporation will be an important asset to your CV. But in addition to this, the experience of living abroad, handling new situations and adapting quickly to a demanding and exciting work environment, will bring you invaluable benefits. And last, but not least, you will enjoy the opportunity of living in an interesting new location.
