How does it work ?
A score of 32/40 on the International Internship Report
The report building on and incorporating your reflective journal is a formal and factual document of 4,000 words, addressed to an academic audience which gives a clear picture of the host organisation's goals and operations, the student's role within the organisation, as well as a detailed account of work activities undertaken whilst on placement together with an overall reflection and appraisal upon the agency and its work. The report will be backed up with appropriate theoretical discussion as well as practical documentation. Networking is an extremely important part of professional life, particularly in making links across the world, be they via face-to-face contact, through voicemail or the internet. It can be both organisations and, preferably, individuals within organisations. As a result, a list of professional contacts established during the internship is to be included in the Internship Report
