COURSE CODE: IMGT 6120
TITLE: IMGT Internship/Practicum
CREDITS: 6

Description
The final project is intended to be flexible to encompass the varying interests and needs of students. Students may elect to do an internship, a consulting project, or a research project (IMGT 6125). The project must be international in scope, and incorporate use of the foreign language studied. Internships will consist of a three-month period working full-time with a company. Students will document their experience, relating it to material covered throughout the core programme. Consulting projects will consist of identification of a client organization and project, and completion of the project to the client’s satisfaction. Students will document their experience, and will be expected to use what they have learned throughout the programme in completing the project. Research projects will consist of identification of a particular area of international management to investigate, and development/completion of an appropriate research programme (projects will normally incorporate empirical data gathering as well as a literature review and development of theory/conceptual frameworks). Students will prepare a research paper including a literature review, methodology, results, discussion, conclusions, bibliography and appendices, tables and so on as appropriate. Where possible, the final project will be conducted in a country where the student’s selected foreign language is spoken. Each student will have a supervisor to guide the final project.
