Description of the exam
procedure
Students can only take up to a total of 30 ECTS in internships.
Internships require pre-approval by an IBP faculty supervisor
approved by the Study Board. Internships should be
pre-approved prior to the start of the internship.
Before applying students are asked to read the Internship page
on my.cbs.dk
A 15 ECTS internship requires a minimum of 375 hours (10 weeks)
documented employment.
Be aware of that it's only possible to take one internship,
so you have to decide if it should be to 7.5, 15 or 30
ECTS.

|
| Course content and
structure |
|
The eligibility of proposed internships is evaluated by the
supervisor on the basis of two criteria:
-
The relevance of the host organization.
In line with the focus of the study program, the activities of
the host organization must be related to one of the IBP core areas.
The core areas of the IBP programs are politics, business and
management, economics and law.
-
The relevance of the internship position.
The second requirement is that the student’s responsibilities
during the internship must be related to the IBP competence
profile. The description of tasks and responsibilities must be
clear stated in the internship application.
