The course differs from traditional internships as more autonomy is expected from the students while carrying out their assignment. Guidance during the assignment is offered both from the education team, and, to a lesser extent, the commissioning organization.
Assignments include but are not restricted to: market research, business development, functional analysis of processes, contributing to business planning, contributing to strategy formulation projects, product and service development, setting up monitoring systems and KPIs,… Assignments are defined jointly between the education team, the commissioning organization/partner and the students.
Assignments take place within structural framework agreements the VUB has with other external parties (other universities, companies, government institutions, others). During the assignment, in function of the interaction needs, the VUB Education follows up through e-mail, Skype or Whatsapp communication.
Application and selection processes apply; modalities are communicated via e-mail and social media. Information sessions are organized at various moments during the academic year (typically at the start, and at other events e.g. internship and job fairs, information sessions about practical courses, etc.).
Course material: Information session slides.
