Embedded Files
During the third semester, 25 ECTS are devoted to major project work.
I have three different options:
A project while you are physically based in an external organisation/company.
An action research project.
A digital ethnographic fieldwork-based project.
The project work and its fieldwork will give you the chance to go in-depth researching a techno-anthropological problem and provide you with practical experience in solving complex techno-anthropological challenges.
I will have to document the work in a project report, which will be the foundation for the oral examination.
Besides this major project, we will attend a course in Reflexive Project Design and Competence Development (5 ECTS), where we are taught different methods and theories related to project work, and learn how to critically reflect upon our own role as a practicing Techno-Anthropologist working in professional settings.
Moreover, you learn to formulate your techno-anthropological competences.
Traineeship - Study abroad
The entire programme is organised in close collaboration with external public, private, and community organisations, in the form of project work, cases, fieldwork, guest lecturers from abroad, and visits to and from companies and institutions.
During your 3rd semester, you can choose between:
An internship in a company in Denmark or abroad
A semester abroad with one of our partner universities
Internship / Project-oriented study in an external organisation
Choosing an internship will allow for the testing of competencies in practice. Gaining hands-on experience during the studies, and getting a head start on building a resume.
AAU recommends a 30-hour work week in the internship company, allowing you time to write your semester report as well.
Semester abroad
During the 3rd semester of the programme, it's possible to enroll in complementary courses with our partner universities abroad.
These partnerships are created with a focus on professional development and are meant to enrich your academic and professional knowledge, skills, and competencies.
For your semester project, you will be able, for instance, to travel abroad and join a transdisciplinary team focused on a topic of your interest.
One's contribution will be mainly in applying your knowledge acquired in the first year.
