DEPARTMENT OF MARKETING AND INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT

Compulsory work experience

As part of the Masters programme, all students are required to complete a relevant work placement in a local or international company. Marketing internships are supervised by the MIM team and are designed to give students the opportunity to put into practice the knowledge they have acquired in their courses.

In the Master of Business Administration (version 2022), the internship should be completed in two consecutive months within one semester. For the Master’s Degree in Applied Business Administration (version 2012), the internship must last four months.

The internship must be followed by the “ Review of Internships in Marketing” course. The activities and experiences gained must be recorded in a practical report and presented in class.

As an alternative to the internship, students can study abroad for one semester. In this case, 12 ECTS credits must be earned, which cannot be transferred to other subjects in the Master’s programme. An application must be made to take advantage of this alternative.
