Internship

The internship is mandatory. It provides important work experience and is a great opportunity to translate your acquired knowledge into practice. However, in exceptional circumstances and upon permission by Marburg University, students can choose elective modules worth the same number of credits. The internship carries 12 ECTS credits (24 Kent credits). Upon completing the internship, students have to submit a detailed internship report. The internship has to be broadly related to issues of peace and conflicts. Thus you can intern with governments, intergovernmental organisations, NGOs, media outlets, or companies and other organizations. 

The internship has to be approved by Marburg University prior to the starting date and should at least last for 10 weeks. Some organisations only take on interns for longer periods. There is no fixed time period for the internship. However, we advice the students to try and complete the internship during the term breaks or after the spring term at Kent University.
