Teaching methods
A short-term stay at an institution. Selection of the institution depends on preferences of the student, and on ability of the institution to accept students. Students could settle their intership independently in an institution corresponding with their research interests, or they could choose from a list provided by the Department of Geography. In each case they should consult their selection with the course tutor. The list of institutions is updated on a yearly basis. The specific date and workload of the stay is a matter of settlement between the student and a tutor from the selected institution.
Assessment methods
To pass out, students can choose one of two alternative ways: 1. To submit the results of their work completed during their intership, or
2. To submit a report about their intership (in a specified structure).
In both options the report must be signed by the tutor from the partner institution.
