Further information (course unit)

The student can complete a 20-credit internship (2 internships) under supervision or receive credit for previously completed internships or prior relevant knowledge from the field of business administration related to the duties of a Bachelor of Business Administration.

Supervised internships are typically full-time and require a commitment of 540 hours. Before starting the internship, the student must participate in an internship orientation and have the internship placement approved by their supervisor. A written agreement is drafted for the internship. During the internship period, the student is required to keep weekly notes as well as an initial and final report. The internship includes a learning task, the content of which is agreed upon with the supervisor.

In addition to the above-mentioned ways of completing the internship, adult students who work in relevant job roles during their studies can fulfill the internship requirement by writing a self-assessment report towards the end of their studies.
