Course content

The objective of the internship is to gain experience in a working environment that is relevant to urban studies, such as an NGO, local government administration, consultancy firm or European network or institution. You can also choose to do a research-oriented internship by working in a university department or another research institution. You are expected to develop and/or work on a concrete and clearly defined project within the organisation. Performing a limited amount of daily operational tasks can be part of the internship, but this cannot constitute the core of the internship. Two supervisors will monitor and evaluate the internship process: one university supervisor and one supervisor at the internship organisation.

  • be able to effectively use your academic skills in a work environment;

  • be able to report in a professional manner.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The internship counts for 15 ECTS, which represents between 375 and 450 study hours. Practically speaking, this equals an internship of 10-12 full-time working weeks.
