Semester 3: Internship in Sociology of Law

15 or 30 credits

Students can choose between elective courses or an internship for their third semester.

Internship

During the third semester, the student can choose to do an internship (15 or 30 credits). You spend 10 or 20 weeks in a relevant organisation and during this period are continuously engaged in its activities, working with qualified tasks related to sociology of law. The student is guided and supported by a supervisor appointed by the organisation in which the internship takes place.

In addition, you write an independent study of the organisation and its work practices in English, with explicit reference to earlier parts of the education within the Master's Programme in Sociology of Law.

The internship place is chosen with the approval of the programme coordinator and should enable students to tailor the programme to suit their particular interests and to develop their specialisation within the field of sociology of law.
