Content

To prepare you for professional practice, the programme includes a work placement. The aim of this work placement is to prepare you for the professional working environment. The focus of the work placement is on learning to function in the professional field by carrying out a work placement assignment. You will undertake your placement at a placement organisation, such as a company, hospital, university, research institute, etc. You will work under the supervision of a placement supervisor. The placement is worth 30 EC, during which you will work on developing your final-year competencies.

For information on graduation, the Brightspace course ‘Internship and Graduation’ is available. OnStage is used as the administration system.

The internship lasts 20 weeks. You will begin by drawing up a plan of action, carry out the work, and conclude the internship with a portfolio and a poster presentation. The portfolio comprises set and optional components, through which you demonstrate your competences. Halfway through the placement period, an interim evaluation will be scheduled with you, your placement supervisor and your contact lecturer.

During the placement period, review sessions will be organised to assist you with the placement process, the portfolio and the poster presentation.
