Internship/ projectwork for Exchange Students (incoming - bachelor level) (TNU100)
An internship/ project work is a supervised practical training, where the student obtains practical work experience and enhanced understanding of how theoretical competence acquired can be put to practical use. The internship is within the relevant study program of the student and offers the possibility of "learning by doing". The students will acquire new knowledge through reflexive assessment of their own work. Internship/project work is defined in agreement with a supervisor at UiS,and will address challenging scientific research and development problems.
Note that supervisor availability depends on the capacity at the department.
