The topic of Internship II is real-life problems of a strategic or organizational nature, which maritime companies and organizations are currently facing. The course focuses on finding solutions to such problems. It allows students to leverage their practical experiences from their shipping internships as well as their theoretical training from previous courses of the bachelor program to address current real-life problems for maritime companies and organizations.
Based on their own experiences in the respective internships students shall identify and describe an organizational or strategic challenge, which maritime companies and organizations are currently encountering. Students shall describe the nature of the challenge and discuss possible solutions for it. In pointing out solutions, students shall refer to selected theories or models from previous courses of the bachelor program such as (but not restricted to) strategic management, finance, marketing, organizational analysis, operations and logistics management, microeconomics and maritime law. Students shall explain how theories or models can inform and guide solutions for the challenges that maritime companies and organizations are experiencing.
The course will train students in communicating and discussing real-life business challenges. In class, students shall make presentations for an audience of shipping company practitioners and nautical school students. They shall demonstrate that they can communicate clearly and effectively with colleagues from nautical departments in shipping companies |

| The course is structured around student
presentations. For an audience of shipping company practitioners
and nautical school students, students will present a practical
real-life problem, which they have encountered during their
internship, and suggest feasible solutions.
This will give students an opportunity to train their communicative skills and receive feedback from the teacher, shipping company practitioners and nautical school students. Based on this feedback, students will write a home assignment for the exam (please see exam details above). |

| Feedback during the teaching period | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mandatory: Students will receive oral feedback on
group presentations in class. Feedback will be provided by the
teacher, by master mariner and marine engineer students from
Svendborg International Maritime Academy as well as by four senior
shipping industry practitioners
