N. | Hoofdt Sabine (cooperator) Aims
Upon completion of the internship the student will be able to:
L1. better understand the varying aspects inherent to a professional work environment (e.g. the workplace conditions, the workplace culture, … ). Furthermore, the student will acquire relevant professional experience by participating actively in formal functional activities within an organization, but also by becoming familiar with informal organizational interrelationships.
L2. transfer new insights and perspectives on core competencies from theory to practice. The student will be able to integrate theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience and thereby grow in excellence within a particular discipline or area of expertise.
On completion of the internship the student will be able to use a number of versatile, personal and career-oriented skills. The Faculty of Economics and Business disseminates a number of specific educational goals concerning ‘Professional development for university graduates: skills and market demands.’

*If a student fails to observe the deadline for handing in the evaluation documents the student will obtain a ‘fail’ for the course unless a new deadline was requested and formally acknowledged by the FEB based upon well-founded facts.
