• Formulate a relevant research question that is empirically and theoretically relevant to the specific internship
• Collect and critically assess empirical data relevant to addressing the research question and the methods used to gather that data
• Select, justify and apply a theoretical framework that is relevant for addressing the chosen research question
• Analyze the tasks performed during the internship and critically discuss them in relation to relevant literature
• Present the research question, analysis and conclusions in a way that complies with academic conventions in regard to structure, referencing and language.
• Discuss how relevant the theoretical tools and other learning, including responsibility issues, from the European Business study programme were in helping you to complete your internship tasks.
• Discuss how the company, institution or organisation is placed in a broader societal context while critically reflecting on how value is created and why it matters.

The aim of the internship is to combine theory with a professional practical learning experience in a company, institution or organization that works with issues pertinent to the field of European Business. Ultimately, the course should enable the student to critically reflect on the internship experience from the perspective of the knowledge and mind-set learned on the BSc in European Business.

The internship should last a minimum of 3 months, full time (30+ hours per week); alternatively, the hours can be spread over a longer period, e.g. 15 hours per week for 6 months. The entire internship must take place in the same firm or organization.
 
The student is responsible for finding a firm/organisation and establishing an agreement with it. The organization/firm in question must specify the tasks that the student is to carry out. These tasks must be relevant to the competence profile of the BSc in European Business, as well as for the individual student’s study profile, and must contain an element of independent work. Here are some examples of relevant tasks (the list is not exhaustive):   

• Contributing to market analyses or cultural analyses for business purposes
• Contributing to or designing internationalisation strategies
• Intercultural dissemination tasks
• Economic analyses
• Organisational analyses
• Analyses or other tasks related to EU issues.                                                                  

To support the student in writing the report, the student will receive 12 hours of supervision during the internship process. The student is responsible for finding a supervisor. The supervisor should be a faculty member with a specialization in the field in question. The supervisor will discuss the theoretical and empirical problem with the student and ensure that it is relevant to the internship course; s/he can also offer recommendations regarding relevant literature. If the student intends to gather data for a future project (e.g. a Bachelor thesis), s/he can also discuss this with the supervisor.

The report may be written in Danish or in English

* HA EB supports internships in own startup in connection with the Copenhagen School of Entrepreneurship (CSE). This requires an agreement with CSE, which follows a separate application process - for more information see: https://cse.cbs.dk/internship-with-ects/ Following an agreement with CSE an application must be sent in for pre-approval and registration of the internship at the HA EB Study Board, as with any other internship.
