Description:
This module corresponds to version B of this minor. This entails an internship (stage) of at least 10 weeks in a developing country, where the student works in a development project or with an organization that is concerned with development activities. The nature of the work varies greatly depending on the interest of the student, and is determined through consultation between the student, his/her tutor, and the host organization for the fieldwork. Whatever the situation, the purpose of the field study is to experience working in projects in a developing country and to reflect on what this experience can tell you about the nature of development and about the way development is being tackled in practice. It is possible to do this field study individually or in a pair or small group.
A condition for performing the fieldwork is that the modules 1 and 2 have been completed and passed.
The field study is normally during the second semester but can be scheduled at the convenience of the student but keep in mind that final reports should be handed in before December 31st.
