| Learning objectives |
To achieve the grade 12, the student must
demonstrate the ability to:
- 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 your internship experience in the light of the European
Business programme’s values, and the company, institution or

Description of the exam
procedure
The examination is held after submission of an individual,
written report. The examination is a 45 minute oral examination
which includes a 10-minute student presentation, the examiners'
discussion of the grade, and the awarding of the grade.
The examination must be held in the same language as the report
is written in.
The report should cover max. 40 standard pages. The
report should describe, analyse and discuss the internship tasks
and experiences, as well as any challenges faced and how these were
dealt with. This discussion should be framed within relevant
academic literature. The report should be structured as a
conventional academic report, with a precise research question,
literature review, methodology section and analysis where the
theory is discussed in relation to the empirical data and student’s
experiences, as well as correct academic referencing. The report
should also include reflections on what the student has learned as
a result of the internship, as well as on whether and how the
academic skills learned at the BSc in European Business were
helpful in carrying out the internship tasks. The report
should also critically reflect on the internship tasks and
experiences from the point of view of the values espoused by the
BSc in European Business programme. Finally, it the student must
demonstrate a basic understanding of how the company or
organisation is placed in a broader societal context - for
instance how it deals with ethical dilemmas or is delivering
concrete solutions to broader challenges for
humanity (e.g, the Sustainable Development
Goals),

| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
The aim of the internship is to combine theory with a
professional practical learning experience in a company,
institution or organisation 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 organisation.
The student is responsible for finding a firm/organisation and
establishing an agreement with it. The organisation/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, will receive 16
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.
