How to organise an internship?

The internship has three parties: a student, a university supervisor, and a supervisor from the internship base.

Each student formulates a more concrete objective and coordinates it with a university and an internship base at the beginning of the internship. Next, you will find helpful tips on organizing the internship to support cooperation in a three-way.
