Internships are an integral part of the Danube AgriFood master curriculum. Each students has to pass through a preparation and a follow-up phase for the individual compulsory internship.

According to the student’s special interest internships can be proposed and organized by students themselves. In order to guarantee the relevance of the internship for the master programme the proposed placement will be checked by the academic programme coordinators (depending on their specialisation areas). In the follow-up phase students have to submit the internship confirmation of the company/organization that proves the duration and the required 100 working hours. In addition each student has to write a field report that gives an overview of the gained knowledge, skills and the students’ internship experiences.
