Learning objectives
  • apply legal risk analytical skills and reflective thinking (i.e. use of theory) in problematizations of the organizational legal risk practice which is relevant for the student’s internship/fieldwork.
  • discuss and apply the chosen academic literature in the analysis of specific research areas within the field of intellectual property.
  • link practical experience/fieldwork observation and academic reflection with central, professional issues while conducting the legal risk analysis.
  • critically reflect on how to combine analytical distance to concrete involvement in organizational legal risk practices.
Course prerequisites
All exams at the first year must be passed. Internships can only be pre-approved in the third semester.

A curriculum of scientific literature to be used for the report will have to be composed by the student and is subject to approval before the start of the internship/fieldwork. The curriculum should not substantially overlap with mandatory course curriculum (from the first year) and amounts to 900 pages.

Cand.soc. supports internships in own startup in connection with 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 cand.soc.-Study Board as with any other internship.

 

The report must demonstrate:

  • that the student is capable of theoretical as well as methodological reflection on his/her work activities in the observed organization(s) in relation to the professional field of the program. This involves an ability to apply conceptual abstractions in a problematization of the observed organizational legal risk analysis practices.
  • that the student is capable of analyzing his/her observation activities in the host organization(s) in relation to central, professional issues in his/her education.
  • that the student is able to employ legal risk analysis, intellectual property law, business economics, organizational and/or managerial knowledge in order to analyze the correlation between field work data and the host organization(s)’ professional activities.
  • the student’s capacity to reflect upon what it means to produce knowledge within ”own” organization, including how to combine analytical distance with concrete involvement, and furthermore to reflect upon the ethical and practical consideration that ought to be a part of being involved in an internship. 
Course content, structure and pedagogical approach

The purpose of internship is to offer students the possibility to apply  knowledge gained in the first year of study in the Program and thereafter, obtain experience in application of legal risk analysis in professional practices in one or more organizations. By performing tangible tasks and projects and by contributing actively at a relevant workplace, students get the opportunity to make use of their professional and theoretical knowledge and to reflect theoretically on the execution of the work during the period of the internship. By observing relevant workplaces, students get the opportunity to make use of their theoretical and methodological knowledge and to reflect theoretically on the organizational practices in question.
