The student works for a minimum of 20 working days at the internship location assigned to him. There, he or she becomes acquainted with the application of one or more branches of law to concrete cases. This should allow the student to reflect on a subject for a master's thesis on the one hand (and write a research proposal around it) and on the other hand to reflect on the way in which concrete cases are approached in practice (and to write a report about this). This international internship of 20 days, valued at 6 credits, can be taken in place of an international internship of 10 days, valued at 3 credits (see course unit (4137) Methodology 2 for master's thesis: Internship).
