why an internship?
The master track Psychology of Conflict, Risk and Safety (PCRS) mandates master students to do an internship. Internships give master students the opportunity to explore an organisation within the field of conflict, risk and safety and to gain relevant work experience at the same time.
The assignment is usually developed in close collaboration with the partner from practice and may vary from writing a literature review or advisory report to designing or testing a training or an assessment tool. There is also the possibility to combine your internship with the empirical research for your individual master thesis project.
