The two internships will train the student in the role of "reflective interns". This means that on one hand they will particpate in the busienss related issues and on the other hand reflects upon the concrete organizational, professional, theoretic and personal opportunities and conditions for the problem solving. The internships will provide the students with a strong professional foundation and network upon which they can build their further carrier and personal development.

Each internship will have a main focus, which will ensure a progressivity during both internships.

Internship II:  Strategic competences
