Course objectives
Students will deepen their knowledge and experiences by practical training, which is organized as an internship at an institutional partner active in the field of creative industries, media, or archival institutions. Thanks to the assigned work on field notes, students will also apply and practically develop the knowledge they have acquired in the previous two years of their study.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, a student will be able to:
- reflect on their practical experience in the production team
- use their knowledge on the relevant cultural institution or media industry company in their study, as well as in their job
- to apply their knowledge on the working milieu and the field notes they produced for the B.A. thesis
Syllabus
  • A student chooses places for a practical internship in creative industries, media, or archival institutions according to their specialization and interest. On the other side, the pedagogical and experiential benefits of the internship are not primarily based on the choice of institution and the type of activity that the student will undertake during the training. The internship is embedded in the ethnographic reflection in reports that the student will produce on an ongoing basis. It will be a kind of field diary in which they will observe the workings of the environment around them. During the internship, the student will thus apply and practically develop the knowledge they have acquired during their studies in the previous two years of the program. In doing so, they will use anthropological concepts as well as knowledge about the functioning and principles of media platforms. Therefore, the internship is directly linked to developing expert competencies, regardless of where the student takes it. The institution itself will mainly represent research material due to these regards. On the other hand, the outputs of students' work will provide valuable feedback to the host institutions, allowing them to understand their own conditions and processes better.
  • The minimum length of the practical internship is two full-time weeks or the equivalent of two full-time weeks.
  • The department provides contacts to institutional partners in the field and consultation (preferably with a tutor of b.c. thesis of the respective student) to ensure maximal compatibility of student's specialization and hosting institution.
