Internship/Work Project

The students in the Global Politics and Globalization specialization will undertake an internship project and must complete an assignment. The assignment has to fulfil the academic requirements of a master's level programme. The assignment has to be an academic piece of work which has to refer to, or include parts of, the internship project. The following are examples of the areas of research covered by the course, and which the internship project could relate to: International Political Economy, International Relations, Social Change, Marginalization and Mobility, Conflict and Peace, Cultural Knowledge, Cross-cultural Management, Knowledge and Technology Transfer and Translation.

The learning objectives are to develop and build the personal, academic and professional capacities of the students by allowing them to research and manage an individual work project within a global company/organisation, or a work project at NTNU in cooperation with an international company/organisation, using interdisciplinary approaches.

The students will have individual supervision from both NTNU and the internship/work place.

A compulsory written assignment relating to the internship/work project (between 50 and 55 pages; 12 pt, 1.5 spacing) should be submitted to the NTNU supervisor by 15 December. The assignment will be given a pass/fail grade by the NTNU supervisor.
