1. Internship Colloquium | Portfolio
Students must attend an internship colloquium prior to beginning the internship. Here they can ask questions about the internship, course leaders can outline the logic, reasons for and goals of an internship and provide information on their formal requirements. The colloquium is offered several times a year, although students only need to attend one.
Following the colloquium, students are required to create a portfolio, for which there is a credit certificate. The requirements for this are discussed in the colloquium. If the internship has already been completed without attendance at a colloquium, it will be possible to attend a colloquium retrospectively.
