Semester 3 - Internship

The internship aims to give you a chance to apply the theory and the educational issues of the two first semesters in practice in a relevant company and job function.

The internship can be compared to a full-time job with the same demands to work, performance, commitment, and flexibility that you, as a BA graduate, would be expected to meet in your first job. The internship must be relevant to the scope of the programme.

Semester 3

The Bachelor's Project demonstrates that you can combine theoretical, practical and developmental elements in addressing specific and relevant issues in practice.

The Bachelor's Project is completed in collaboration with a relevant company and demonstrates your ability to apply your knowledge and skills from the programme. The project should reflect both the academic level of the programme as well as its professional relevance.

In combination, the optional theme, internship, and Bachelor's Project provide you with the opportunity to influence your competence profile according to your individual focus.

International profile

As a student at UCL University College, it is possible to create an international profile during your studies. Depending on your chosen programme you can go on short international modules, study a semester or do your internship abroad, and participate in international projects.

The knowledge and insights that come from international experiences, as you encounter cultures of other countries, can be useful for more than personal enrichment. Such insights may also make you highly attractive to the Danish and international job markets.

Going abroad is an adventure, which will equip you with skills and experiences for life. You will develop yourself both professionally and personally, and you have a great opportunity to make friends and a network abroad.

The internship aims to give you a chance to apply the theory and method learned in the first two semesters in practice.

The internship can be compared to a full-time job with the same demands towards work, performance, commitment, and flexibility that you, as a BA graduate, would be expected to meet in your first job. The internship must be relevant to the scope of the programme.

Practical experience

One of the things that characterise the study programmes at UCL University College is that you will receive an education that emphasises practical experience. Amongst other things, you will work on practical cases in class, and work on projects with real businesses. The most practically-oriented part of the study is the internship, which is an integrated part of all study programmes at UCL.

The internship is your chance to use and test your knowledge and theory in the 'real world'. The internship also gives you the opportunity to test, what exactly you want to do with your degree once graduated. 

When the time comes for you to find your first job as a graduate, you will because of a strong internship not only have theoretical knowledge, but also important experience of how it is to work in your specific field of interest.
