Research practice and internships
Doing research, practical work or a professional internships is an integral and compulsory part of our study course. Practical training can either be research-based, independent field work, archival research or working practicals. The Centre for African Studies offers field trips to Africa on a regular basis. Students who wish to do their internship with a company, governmental organisation or NGO are expected to organize their internships by themselves. However, the Centre assist students in planning and performing these internships.
