Description of the exam
procedure
A written individual report that puts a
theoretical as well as an empirical perspective on one or more
problem(s) that the student has been working with during the
internship; the report must demonstrate relevance to the overall
objectives of the MCO programme.
The report must be handed in no later than two (2) months after the
termination of the internship.
The report must demonstrate that the student can
• enter into an academic dialogue with the organization
• collect and critically assess empirical material relevant to the
addressing of the chosen problem
• select, justify and use with nuance and precision a theoretical
framework (background literature) that is relevant to the chosen
problem
• account for the chosen problem formulation and its relevance to
the tasks carried out during the internship and present the
problem, analysis and conclusions in a form that meet the language
and form requirements of the academic
genre.

Course content and structure |
A project based internship is a non-obligatory
educational element in the programme that may replace a given
number of ECTS points in the electives block, cf. subsection (6). A
number of counseling sessions are offered in connection with the
report that is to be written after the internship.
The contents of the report will depend on the internship as
described in the contract made between the individual student and
the organization. If during the internship the student has prepared
concrete materials, these may be added as an appendix to the
report, but shall not be included in the required number of pages
in the report; nor shall such materials be included in the
evaluation of the report. The contents of the report must be
relevant to the overall goals of the MCO programme and must to the
widest possible extent be based on the obligatory courses in the
first year of the MCO programme. |
