Elective semester
The autumn semester of the second year offers plenty of options to specialise your degree, either by studying abroad at one of JIBS' recommended partner schools, or by taking elective courses of your choice at JIBS, which also allows you to do an internship in another country.
Internship
Part of the elective semester can be devoted to an internship.
The elective semester can include an academic internship of 7.5 or 15 credits as part of the course package. If the student decides to stay at Jönköping International Business School (JIBS), a package of default courses is offered. One of the default courses are Internship in Economics.
The internship course is of special interest as JIBS guarantees several students to get an internship in one of the organisations in the local community (the actual number is announced in December each year). The students that get the internship are those that decide to stay at JIBS during the third semester and are those that have high academic performance.
The students apply for the internship positions during the end of the first semester, parallel to the going abroad selection. The objective of the internship course in economics is to give the student experience in applying his/her theoretical knowledge in practical work concerning economics, thereby allowing the student to further develop skills in applying the theoretical approaches which have been treated in the various courses of the programme.
The students that do not get any of the fixed positions are encouraged to also find an internship. If students fail to find an internship they will take the course at the advanced level at JIBS.
