Research Internship I

Course goals

Students may choose to do a research internship instead of study abroad in periods 1 and 2 of year 2. The aim of this internship is to learn how to apply research skills in practice, to develop organisational and communication skills, and to get to know organisations like research institutes, museums, or governmental agencies. The internship assignment can be manifold but needs to have the academic level belonging to a Research Master’s degree. Importantly, this implies that the student will have to do independent, individual research. The supervisor from the UU checks whether the internship plan fits with the aims of the master’s programme. The total number of EC include writing an internship report, including an internship product, the result of the research done at the host institution (such as a website, an inventory of images, a database, a research report, or a text for an exhibition catalogue).

Content
