Internasjonalt internship

LED5007

This course offers the students with practical experience through traineeship at partner companies to the Business School. The traineeship project in the 3rd semester is an integrated part of the M.Sc programme. The purpose is to provide the students with an opportunity to apply the theoretical insight and the methodological knowledge obtained during the 1st and 2nd semesters in a real-life situation in a Norwegian or in a non-Norwegian setting. The student will study an organizational problem or issue in cooperation with the company, that is related to the major the student is enrolled at. 

The projects should take theoretical insights and methodological knowledge obtained during the 1st and 2nd semester as a point of departure, and these should be applied to a real life situation. The students must thus investigate a selected problem area by defining a research question, collecting the appropriate data and analyze it. Preferably in close connection with the tasks as trainee.
