Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

In this module the student will complete collaborative process with a Danish or foreign organisation. This allows students to gain a minimum of 420 hours of valuable work experience while studying. During the collaborative process, students will work on completing specific tasks related to the master programme while working on identifying, exploring, analysing and reflecting on a master programme-related problem of their choice.

The purpose of this module is to allow the student to acquire practical experience through working in an organisation and bring their knowledge into play by trying out their theoretical and methodological competences in practice. The business cooperation will result in a written report, where the student explicates the knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired during the internship and combine it with contemporary knowledge acquired through a thorough literature review. A supervisor will be assigned to the student.
