Course contents
The course introduces the student to practical experience and reflexive learning through an internship placement combined with formal examinations. Integrating theory with practical work experience, the student applies their academic learning in a “real world setting” to develop new knowledge, skills, and competencies. The internship should be related to politics and/or economics and must involve relevant working tasks. The student is responsible for applying to, and securing the internship placement, which is formally accepted by the course coordinator to be included in the course module.
