Summary
Students undertake internships in a selected company, institution or agency abroad. The aim of the internship is to develop students' skills in activities related to the studied specialization, prepare them for future employment or business activity and improve their communication in a foreign language. Before commencing the practice, the student prepares a practice plan in a pre-prepared form, which contains the place of practice, the aim of the practice, the content of the practice including the expected activities, the time organization of the practice and the contact person of the practice client. This plan is then approved by the course guarantor. For a period of one to three months, the student learns about the operation of the department / agency and the activities and work of individual employees. Under the guidance of a mentor, he processes data and provided information, participates in marketing (business) activities related to the operation of the company/agency and participates in the organization of events. After completing the internship, the student submits a final report in which he summarizes the results of his / her activities achieved during the internship abroad.
