Before starting your traineeship, the place of work and the external supervisor must be accepted by the course coordinator. The course starts with a mandatory introduction at the university after which you start your traineeship. After the traineeship you will report to the examiner at the university. The report should be in writing (in the form of a diary) an oral presentation.

Start in good time to apply for an internship at an authority or within a company where your subject knowledge can be used. A tip is that most internships are advertised more than six months before they start.

Instructions for internships

Start an internship - step by step

1. Search for a suitable internship and supervisor at the internship yourself.
2. Contact the teacher who is responsible for the course for each internship course (see below).
3. Write a work plan of 1-2 pages. Start with information about yourself (name, address, e-mail address, telephone number and social security number). Then write a little briefly about the workplace and its activities, the supervisor's position, tasks during the internship period. The examining teacher (usually course coordinator) must have the proposal for the internship no later than two weeks before the internship begins.
4. When the work plan is approved by the course coordinator and when he/she has been in contact with the supervisor at the internship, you will be admitted to the course. This must be done no later than one week before you start the internship so that you can be registered for the internship course.
5. Before you start the internship, you must meet the course coordinator to get an introduction to the internship and information on how the examination is conducted. Detailed information on implementation and reporting can be read in the instructions for internships.
