  1. COURSE CONTENT
Internship is carried out in accordance with the terms provided by the relevant Regulations of DUTH regarding the working hours, the remuneration and the leaves of the trainees, with the aim to achieve the essential mutual communication between university studies and the workplace and implement academic and educational knowledge in a working environment. University teaching staff cooperate with the employers of the trainees for the assignment of internship supervision to staff members of the collaborating bodies, to determine the internship subject and to monitor the programme of each trainee, which must be relevant to the subject of their studies. In this context, there is regular communication with the supervisors and the trainees and meetings are organized with them in the Department of Social Policy. If possible, depending on the dispersal of collaborating institutions and the number of internship positions, on-site visits of teaching staff to the participating institutions are carried out.

Students are informed of the registry and the selection of collaborating institutions, their subject of their work in the institutions where they will be employed, attend a meeting of the internship liaison office, discuss and exchange impressions from their experience with each other and with representatives of the institutions.
