Setting targets for the development of one’s own expertise, finding a practical training placement, work at a workplace approved by the tutoring teacher, make a report.

Teaching methods

The internship is based on the personal goals you set for your own learning, which are described in the internship plan before the internship. In principle, you cannot do the internship in your own work, but you do it for yourself in a new operating environment. Completing an internship in your own job requires a good rationale to support your own development of agrological skills.
You can start your internship according to an individual schedule after your instructor has approved your internship plan.
You carry out the training according to the training plan. After the internship, you will have a feedback discussion with your responsible trainer. The internship should be considered as hourly accounting of the work done. To evaluate your own learning, it is a good idea to keep a learning diary.
You create a training report based on your hourly accounting and diary. The report describes the development of your skills and the achievement of your goals, as well as the work tasks you have done.

International connections

It is possible to do an internship abroad if it is appropriate given your learning goals.

Alternative completion methods

You will acquire the skills of this course by planning, implementing and evaluating a ten-week internship based on your personal goals in a workplace that is unfamiliar to you. The internship should support and develop your agrological skills.

Student workload

The course corresponds to 405 hours of work, which is divided as follows:
Participation in information and application for an internship (5 h)
Internship work (380 h)
Internship discussion during the internship (1 h)
Internship report (19 h)

Content scheduling

The internship is generally completed after the second academic year. The internship can be combined with doing the thesis and collecting its material.

Further information for students
