Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

A project-oriented study in an external organisation (20 ECTS) gives you the opportunity to embark on a placement in a private or public company/organisation located abroad.

Part of the student's work in the company must be related to a concrete economic or legal problem area, which is approved in advance by both the university and the company.
