of photography, for instance as a photo historian, curator, critic,
photographic agent, editor or exhibition maker. The purpose is to
initiate and develop contact with the professional field; an internship
helps the student to concretely orient him/herself to professional
practice, but preferably also serves to bring the student into contact
with a research topic for his/her thesis.
Supervision by a member of the staff.
The programme seeks positions for interns in the Netherlands and
other countries, and maintains contact with employers from the art
and cultural sector. A number of intern positions are offered each
academic year, but you may also approach an institution and seek an
internship on your own initiative.
Having found a position, you must then find a staff supervisor and fill
in the required forms, which may be obtained from the Study
coordinator or Programme chair. You will also be required to submit a
detailed internship plan, which has been worked out with the
employing institution. These documents will then need to be approved
by your staff supervisor and/or the Programme chair. If, through any
circumstances, the internship is not applied for and approved in
advance, the Examination committee retains the right to reject the
internship position on grounds of content.
You will be expected to report periodically to your staff supervisor,
with other arrangements for supervision made on an individual basis.
The final evaluation of the internship will be based on the intern’s final
report (see below) and an assessment by the supervisor from the
institution.
Students conclude their internship with a report which provides
sufficient insight into the work performed. The report will contain:
- a characterization of the intern’s place of work;
- the motivation for having chosen this internship position;
- daily or weekly reports (maintaining a diary as background for the
preparation of the report is strongly advised);
- an evaluation of the internship: the original plan compared with the
practice and the ultimate results, including an answer to the question
what you have learned during the internship. The work produced or
representative parts thereof should appear as an appendix/appendices.
The internship report must be sent to the institution where the
internship took place and to the staff supervisor. The institution also
produces a written evaluation on the basis of a standardised evaluation
formula, which can be obtained from the Study coordinator or
Programme chair.
