Course objectives
The students can get work experience during their study that will count as an optional course. This work experience must be connected with the subject of the study of the Dutch Language and Literature. Acceptable are the following occupations: commercial sphere, where the student uses his/her knowledge of the Dutch language and institutions, translation/interpreting, redaction work, administrative or organisatory work for cultural institutions or in the third sector where the student again uses his/her knowledge of the Dutch language, culture or institutions. It is also possible to get the work experience in the Netherlands or in Belgium. In advance the student is obliged to discuss the choice of the institution where he/she wants to work with the head of the Dutch section and the student will discuss the project which he/she will work on. The aim of this course is to enable the student to get a practical work experience so that he/she can get a good job in the "Dutch sector" after graduation. This experience will be evaluated with a project written in Dutch. Visiting Erasmus+ students can also enrol in the internship course. Native speaker students can gain teaching experience in non-Dutch subjects during their internship.
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to pass a practical internship and to practice practical Dutch and basic knowledge of formal and written professional communication. Native speaker students, on the other hand, will learn about teaching Dutch as a foreign language and gain teaching experience.
