The student submits a final report from the internship to the guarantor within 30 days of its completion. At the same time, the student must provide the original confirmation of completion issued by the host institution. Content The program of the foreign internship is defined and approved in advance, in cooperation with the representative of the host institution, the departmental guarantor of internships, and the student.

Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide students with professional, intercultural and social competences and experiences in an international environment of professional workplaces. In this way, students can verify the theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired during their studies and expand them according to the possibilities of the institution. Students can improve their teamwork and thus improve their communication skills in a foreign language. A placement abroad will help the student to learn about the specificities of different cultures and to cope with prejudices and stereotypes. The student is encouraged to think and act independently. He/she is encouraged to be creative and learns to deal with stressful and crisis situations. This will increase the student's potential in future employment.
