Syllabus
  • 1. In first two weeks student chooses the organization and arranges the traineeship there (student can choose prearranged organization or contact new organization). Student can ask teacher for help in each step of this process. At the beginning of the semester, students will receive a current list of prearranged partner organizations. Student chooses 3 organizations at maximum and completes the special form due to his/her interests. The organization can select students due to their requirements and/or interviews. Students, who fail in this selection, must find another organization, because otherwise they cannot meet the requirements of the course!
