Internship

In Environment and Society Studies a research internship is a mandatory part of the curriculum. It is not a separate course module, but it is integrated in the research project of the master thesis of 24 EC. You will be helped by the internship coordinator in finding a suitable hosting organization, with lists of former internships, partnership contracts and internship job applications. 

Study abroad

The Master’s programme is planned to last one year – three blocks with courses, one block writing the thesis. Studying abroad is not an integrated option. However, if you plan to do so, get in contact with the International Office about opportunities. Such a study abroad is possible but will delay your study progress.
