Offer 1 with catalog number 1021481BNR for all students in the 1st and 2nd semester at a (B) Bachelor - advanced level.
The internship mainly focuses on preparing students for their professional career. Through the internship, the student develops and acquires both academic and professional competences. The internship preparation, the internship itself and the portfolio stimulate the student to consciously think about their own development. This promotes self-knowlegde and critical thinking skills.
The student looks for a suitable organisation where an independent 'agogisch' project/trajectory is set up/carried out. The duration of the internship is 480 hours.
More information about the internship can be found in the internship guidelines on Canvas. This information is also provided during a WPO in the academic year prior to the internship.
The internship portfolio may - on request of the student and with approval of the internship VUB coach - be written in a language other than Dutch.
If the student is working in the professional field of the ‘agoog', they may carry out the internship within the organisation where they are employed, on the condition that the internship is performed outside the normal range of tasks and working hours of the professional activity. The suitability of the organisation and the modalities under which the internship would be carried out must be assessed and approved in advance by the titular holder. In addition, the organisation concerned must agree to provide the necessary guidance.

The student will automatically be referred to the second examination period. The deadline for submitting the portfolio in the second examination period is 19 August.
The internship itself (480 hours) cannot be retaken in the second examination period. Only in exceptional cases, and with the explicit permission of the internship VUB coach, it is possible to perform internship hours after the deadline of the first examination period.
