Students must carry through a planned scientific research project with external or associated partner. At the end, the students must communicate their results and conclusions in short report and in an oral presentation to project owner and advisers in the university. The presentation will form part of an oral exam, resulting in normal grades A-F and 22.5 ECTS if passed. The students are also asked to prepare a draft research proposal for continuing the research work started in the Internship Project Comprehensive course. The written report will count 20% of the final grade, the research proposal will count 20% and the scientific approach and the results communicated orally counts 60%. All learning lines of EM AquaH include this mandatory internship project undertaken in a non-academic partners/associations. This course involve work in the external partner premises and in offices or laboratories of the partner university during final data analysis and writing. The course involves a working load of roughly to 600 h, giving 22.5 ECTS. This internship aims at acquainting the student with the real working environment through practical training, teamwork, and individual learning. The forms of learning will likely be very different for students.
