Description of the exam
procedure
Internships require pre-approval by an IBP faculty supervisor
and the Study Board prior to the start of the internship. Before
applying students are asked to read the course description and
the internship page on MyCBS carefully.
A 30 ECTS internship requires a minimum of 750 hours (20
weeks) documented employment.
Please note it's only possible to take one
internship. Students should therefore decide whether it should be
for 7.5, 15 or 30 ECTS.

Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
The eligibility of proposed internships is evaluated by the
supervisor and the Study Board on the basis of two criteria:
-
The relevance of the host organization.
In line with the focus of the study program, the activities of
the host organization must be related to one or more of the IBP
core areas. The core areas of the IBP programs are politics,
business and management, economics and law.
2.The relevance of the internship position.
The student’s responsibilities during the internship should be
related to the IBP competency profile. The application for
pre-approval should show how the internship will address the
competency profile and provide a basis for a report that will meet
learning objectives listed above.

Feedback during the teaching period |
Report and research paper supervision should
always be a two-way process. Students are encouraged to seek
feedback on their work by maintaining contact with their supervisor
on a regular basis and preparing in advance for supervision
sessions by drawing up an agenda listing questions or issues for
discussion. |
