Description of the exam
procedure
The report must describe, analyse and discuss the tasks carried
out and problems dealt with during your internship and/or the tasks
with which your organization/firm is engaged in, with the point of
departure in a relevant academic literature.
The report must be structured as an academic report with a clear
research question, a literature review, a methodological section,
and an analysis against the backdrop of the reviewed literature.
The report must use appropriate academic referencing. The
report must include an appendix that provides an overview of the
data collected during the internship and used in the report.
Finally, it must include reflections concerning the academic skills
learned at the programme and used during the internship, as
well as a discussion of your internship in relation to your further
studies and career.

| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
As a full time student you can transfer an internship to your
study program. The internship must take place in an company /
organization or in a Copenhagen School of Entrepreneurship (CSE)
approved startup. The internship can be in Denmark or in a
foreign country.
Internships provide students with a real life professional
learning experience and offer students a unique opportunity to gain
hands-on experience in a business company, institution or
organization that works professionally with issues relating to
information management. The main objective of internships is to
convert academic and theoretical knowledge into professional
experience.
There are four types of internships
-
Individual internship in an
organization: The student has an individual agreement
with an organisation. The student hands in a report in accordance
with the listed requirements.
-
Group internship: Students can participate
in cross-department or cross-university arrangements where students
work in groups on a project defined by an organisation or a
university consortia. Based on a shared case the student has to
hand in an individual report which fulfills the listed
requirements.
-
CSE approved startup: The student has an
internship in his/hers own company with Copenhagen School of
Entrepreneurship (CSE) as incubator.
-
Research internship: A research internship
consists of a period of 4 months where you work in close
cooperation with researchers at CBS. During your research
internship you will participate in a research project with a topic
of your choice or a topic chosen in cooperation with our research
group. The student hands in a report or an article which will be
evaluated and graded. Note: The host organization supervisor in
this case will be the department secretary.
Students enrolled in the corporate master programme have the
option of doing a research intership (nr. 4), but are not elegible
for other types of internship (nr. 1-3).
