Content

The student should, for 10 weeks, work full time under prevalent conditions and relations in a workplace within the cultural sector that the student has arranged independently. There, the student should carry out tasks according to the placement plan: a project, an investigative assignment, a study, or corresponding, that is of benefit to the current workplace. - The tasks assigned must have a level of complexity that is high enough for the student to have an opportunity to implement the acquired theoretical knowledge. - The workplace should be a part of the cultural sector. - The placement may be located abroad. During the placement, the student should have access to a supervisor appointed by the workplace. The supervisor should establish a placement plan in consultation with the student and provide relevant supervision for the practical tasks during the work. The plan should state, as clearly as possible, the type of tasks that the student should carry out and during what period. This is submitted to the programme coordinator, who based on the plan decides if the location satisfies the criteria that apply to the placement. The placement plan should therefore constitute a decision-making basis for the programme coordinator and should therefore show that the tasks that are included in the placement satisfy the above mention requirements on purpose and contents. The plan should be an instrument for the work that can be revised and supplemented during the placement. If extensive changes are made in relation to the original placement plan after the placement has begun, the programme coordinator should be contacted.
