Internship

- Architectural Technology and Construction Management
 

The Architectural Technology and Construction Management programme is business oriented, interdisciplinary and practice-based.

 

This means that you will learn how to solve specific problems in day to day studies and during your compulsory internship.

 

Thus, the internship connects your theoretical and practical qualifications and adds to developing professionally oriented competencies that are in demand in current and future work places.

That way, as a graduate you can enter directly into the business community where you will pro-bably find you first job in an architecture or engineering business, and contracting company, a technical administration or in a manufacturing company.

 

Many get a job in their internship company after they graduate.

 

Insight into the business

Through your internship, you will gain a valuable insight into what your role will be when you enter the labour market as a graduated Architectural Technologist and Construction Manager.

 

After your internship is over, you will prepare your elective project and your Bachelor project. Both will usually take a starting point in your internship and be prepared in collaboration with your internship company.

 

Learning objectives

The internship is a separate learning space where lecturers and students use their experience and try to make it lead to increased co-operation with internship companies.

 

That is why we stress the setting up of learning goals for the internship. These goals are em-phasized when the internship agreement is signed.

Internship companies

The student may go on an internship in one or more companies during the internship, which makes up 20 weeks (applies to future study starts). Furthermore, the internship may take place abroad – learn more at "Internship and Study abroad".

 

Internship planning

Students will be introduced to the internship during studies when we encourage them to find their own fields of interest within e.g. project design or construction.

 

In this connection, the different kinds of internships will be described and the school also has a data base of internship companies.

The internship will be planned in close collaboration between the student and his or her internship co-ordinator. It is the student’s responsibility to get the required internship place.
