Description
For those students who will participate in part B of the minor, the pressure cooker can be seen as a stepping stone towards the internship. During the pressure cooker students will have to put theories to practice.This experience is also key during the internship but in case of the internship is brought two steps further by first, applying the acquired knowledge in a real life situation outside the walls of a classroom, and second, by doing so in a different cultural environment from their own. In the preparation course of the internship, the students will work on their Internship Plan. . Also, a guest lecture on safety while working abroad is provided. Students also get the opportunity during the Internship Preparation course to start working on their internship assignment. They will need to get acquainted with the host country, its history and culture, and the host organization they will start working for. During working groups and individual meetings, students are guided by their internship supervisor and the internship coordinator.

After this course students are able to:
Get a realistic overview of their tasks and assignments during the internship
