Internship - Creative Writing

30

Students must be enrolled on the BA in Creative Arts.

Students learn to apply and assess their competences independently in practice by taking on tasks during an internship. In addition, students will learn based on practice-based experiences from the internship to explain how creative writing and artistic competences can be applied in concrete artistic practice.

Internship modules are made up of work at for example a cultural institution, which is the internship setting, and a written report on what the student has done/produced/achieved and learned during the internship period. The internship setting may, in addition to a cultural institution, be a creative writing project in which the student takes part or a combination of both. Examples of artistic practice/independent written works, which have been executed or created during the internship may be submitted as part of the report. The internship institution will, in cooperation with the student, draft a purpose statement for the internship. The purpose statement is subject to the approval of a supervisor, who is associated with the degree programme, as well as the programme leader, no later than at the start of the semester. The time spent by the student in the internship must be equivalent to 14 working weeks.

Internships include both work during the internship and supervision. Students will have a supervisor, who is associated with the degree programme, and students will receive supervision 4-6 times/8-12 hours spread evenly throughout the semester. As part of the internship students must keep a logbook, which the supervisor and student will use as a basis for supervisions when the internship is nearing its conclusion and the student is writing their report.

Students who successfully complete the course can demonstrate ability to: - apply their professional skills independently by taking on assignments in an internship setting - perform independent artistic work/written work in an internship setting - describe (in a written report) the internship and their own role at this institution based on the internship purpose statement and applying relevant methods - asses their creative writing competences in practice - explain how creative writing and artistic knowledge can be translated into concrete practice - reflect critically on artistic practice in a societal context

Report of 10-15 standard pages (2400 characters including spaces ) as well as a logbook + examples of artistic work/written works created during the internship are to be submitted at the end of the course.
