Internship [EINGM235]

Learning outcomes

The internship provides students with the opportunity to put their acquired knowledge to the test within the context of their education and to gain new knowledge and skills directly related to the challenges and realities they encounter during their assignments. This experiential learning aspect is at the core of the evaluation for this course.

Objectives

Two main learning objectives are targeted:

1. Firstly, the internship allows the student to put to the test the knowledge and conceptual tools they have acquired over almost four years. It promotes an embodied learning of subjects that were previously mainly theoretical. This first objective can be characterized as practical. The specific tasks to be performed and the evaluation of the student's work at this level are the responsibility of the internship supervisor.

2. Secondly, the internship enables the student to develop and test cross-cutting skills such as observation, problem-solving, analysis/synthesis, and communication that they can apply in future professional situations. The definition of this second objective and the evaluation of the student at this level fall under academic responsibility.

Content

The internship assignments are defined in partnership with the hosting company/organization. They must be approved by the Corporate Cell (jean-luc.gustin@unamur.be) before the convention is signed. During the internship, students are guided in identifying a personal learning project that will be at the core of the evaluation for this course.
