Internship
Internship is part of the social work programme during the fifth semester. The foundation for the studies is an operation where social work is conducted and where an experienced social worker takes the role as a supervisor for the student. Such places of work are in the broad field in which sociologists work, for example geriatric care, social emergency services, addiction units, student health, social psychiatry, treatment and investigation homes, assisted living facilities, and in a variety of voluntary organisations.
The goal is to give the student an opportunity to combine theory with practical social work, as well as receive experience, knowledge and skills that contribute to continued studies and later professional life. The supervised vocational practice is a unique opportunity for the student to work practically and at the same time receive supervised reflection regarding the professional role and the theoretical problematisation of the prerequisites for social work.
