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. As the companies primarily are operating within the ENE-sector, sustainability is of fundamental importance.

• 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.
  • The candidate has knowledge about how sustainability is handled by the company where the internship has taken place.

  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.

• Credit reduction due to overlap

  You may take both ENEINT and INTERN-A-M, but they must be based on two different internships.

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