ENEINT Internship

• Topics

  In order to enhance one's understanding of how academic theory and practice interconnect, this course combines an internship in a company/organization operating within the areas relevant for the ENE profile with a report that relates academic theories to practice.

• Learning outcome

  Upon successful completion of the course, the student will have attained the following:

  Knowledge

  • The candidate has knowledge about how theories from economics/business administration and practice interconnect in a company/organization operating within the areas relevant for the ENE profile

  Skills

  • The candidate is able to do an analysis or suggest improvements at the organization where the internship takes place, using relevant academic methods and theories

  General competence

  • The candidate is able to reflect on and assess the validity of knowledge and skills acquired during his/her studies in light of practice

  ENEINT cannot be included in the degree if taken in combination with Grunderskolen / Innovation School / Social entrepreneurship. If you take both ENEINT and Grunderskolen / Innovation School / Social Entrepreneurship, ENEINT will be shown in a separate transcript.

  It is possible to take both the ENEINT course and the Internship Abroad course INTERN-A-M as part of the master’s programme. The internships integrated in the ENEINT course and the Internship Abroad INTERN-A-M course must in such a case be different from one another.
