Internships within the Faculty of Humanities are assessed by the (internal) internship examiner of the study programme, with input from the (external) internship supervisor.

Input from internship supervisor

The external internship supervisor provides the internship examiner with input for the assessment via a standardised feedback form. This form is sent to the internship supervisor by the Career Service halfway through the internship period.

Below you can view the feedback form:

Assessment by internship examiner

In the assessment, the internship examiner weighs the following components:

1. the internship plan and preparation of the internship;
2. the performance during the internship: mainly based on the input from the internship supervisor;
3. the internship report;
4. the final product.

Students must score at least a pass on components 2 and 3 in order to successfully complete the internship. The assessment is recorded in a standardised assessment form, which the Career Service will email to you halfway through the internship period.
