procedure
Your internship must have an international or intercultural
scope. This can be fulfilled by the location of the organisation
where the internship is conducted or by the nature of the job that
you do during the internship. The synopsis serves as basis for the individual, oral exam where
the student starts out by giving a brief presentation. The
examiners can ask questions based on the entire curriculum. The exam is conducted in the language that is to be assessed,
which is the student's second language (French, German or
Spanish) and two grades will be given; one for language and one for
content. The purpose of the exam is to test the student's: - ability to communicate fluently with a varied vocabulary and
without errors that impede communication.
- insight into the societal and cultural context which s/he has
been part of and the ability to reflect theoretically upon
it.
The student will receive two grades according to the 7-point
grading scale; one grade for the communicative skills in the
student's second language and one grade for the
content. |
