/

/

The work placement module obliges students to contact companies in Belgium and/or abroad in order to find a one-month work placement in a public or private company.

By the end of the work placement, students will have learned a lot about the business world and will have applied in a practical way the concepts and theories learned in their language and business courses.

The work placement will be evaluated by means of a detailed report (6,000-7,500 words) and an oral defense of 10 minutes (5 minutes PowerPoint presentation and 5 minutes question and answer session).

The report and oral defense must be in one of the students' major languages and will be evaluated by a supervisor (teacher) appointed by the work placement committee.

The objective of the work placement is to enable students to participate in a companies activities thereby applying the theoretical concepts acquired in their language and business courses in the Master in Modern Languages and Literatures: German, Dutch and English. During their work placement, students should also use on a daily basis at least one of their two major languages. Students must write and orally defend a report on their work placement. (See Other information). The report must respect the scientific and bibliographical conventions in this regard.
