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.

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.
