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 |

Description of the teaching methods | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The teaching for the course is structured around
students’ individual internship experiences.
In class, each student will do a short presentation, focusing on a practical real-life problem for a shipping company or maritime organization. In the presentation, students should highlight relevant theory and outline a feasible solution to the problem. Each student presentation will be followed by a Q&A and feedback session, in which fellow students and the teacher provide feedback to the presenter. A few days before class, students shall send their titles and slides to the teacher, who will use these to prepare structured feedback. The feedback shall help students in reflecting theoretically about their internship experiences and provide them with ideas for their work with the exam assignment. |
