Internship
Volledige vakbeschrijving
For their final work, students in the MA MS:DC can opt for the internship trajectory. This means they do an internship relevant to the field of media studies with a focus on digital cultures. Thematically related to this, they will then write an internship thesis plus a report. The programme maintains a network of internship organisations willing to host MA DC students, to help students in securing an internship opportunity. However, students are responsible for selecting an organisation and coordinating the application procedure (application writing, interview etc.) themselves. We advise students pursuing this option to begin early in the study year to secure an internship position. Students may choose to go to another country, e.g. return to their home country, for this part of their study. The internship starts in April and should last at least two months. The internship is graded by a faculty supervisor, in close consultation with the internship line manager.
