Course Objective

The Master's graduate will gain practical experience and thus apply the academic theoretical knowledge acquired during studies.

Course Content

The internship correlates with the practical orientation of the programme. The performed legal work must have a clear connection with the IBL LLM curriculum and the respective track. The general advice is to conduct a part-time internship (maximum 2 days per week), spread over 2
- 3 months so it does not affect the studies negatively. There must be a minimum of 160 hours of performed legal work in order to obtain the assigned credits. An internship is qualified as extracurricular (it does not replace an academic course) and it obtains 6 EC (credits). It will be printed on the diploma supplement as such (including the name of the employer). The internship coordinator awards 6 EC after receiving the following documents: 1. The employment contract or the internship agreement, signed by the internship coordinator, the student and signed and stamped by the employer. The internship coordinator provides a template agreement upon request. If the VU agreement is to be used by the employer, then this agreement should already be signed by all parties before the commencement of the internship period. 2. A formal letter (and, in some cases, an evaluation form) confirming the successful completion of the internship and indicating the number of hours worked (signed and stamped by the employer) 3. A written report by the student of no more than 2000 words that should describe the tasks performed during employment (subject to confidentiality clauses)
