The aim of the study unit is to familiarize the student with work in public administration, organizations, or private sector.

Requirement for completion of the unit is three months of uninterrupted full-time training in a workplace, which has been accepted by the advisor in charge of the study unit 16, as well as a written report of training.

Content

he students find their internship on their own. Information on vacant training placements will be available at the Faculty´s www-page: http://www.valt.helsinki.fi/blogs/rekry-ilmo/ . The department has annually a limited number of grants sponsored by the university. To apply students must have BA completed or minimum of 180 ECTS with basic and intermediate studies in Communication. In case there are more applicants than grants, the students are selected by lottery.

Application period for traineeship grants for the year 2009 starts on 1 November 2008. Application form (available in the beginning of November): http://www.valt.helsinki.fi/comm/fi/opiskelu/opinto-opas/hakulomake2009_english.pdf

Post-graduate Studies

Content

Postgraduate studies can be divided into two degrees: Licentiate of Social Sciences and Doctor of Social Sciences.

Department of Communication usually takes about 4-6 new doctoral students annually from 10-20 candidates. The most important document is the research plan (8-10 pages) including topic, problem formulation and research questions, theoretical background, methods, data and timetable.

Those students who do not speak Finnish would benefit if they have established contacts to some researchers relevant to their topic.

In the Finnish system only those applicants who have already obtained a Master´s degree or similar from a recognized university are considered post-graduate applicants, and their applications are handled by the Administrative Officer, Ms. Terhi Kulonpalo, and all enquiries etc. ought to be directed to her (terhi.kulonpalo@helsinki.fi).

MGC 5 Practical Training/Work Placement

Code: 770075 Credits: 6
Replaces study unit 16 Practical Training In Finnish: S16 Työharjoittelu 6 op (770049)

Objectives

The aim of the unit is to familiarize the student with working in public administration, non-governmental organizations, or in the private sector. Requirement for completion of the unit is three months of uninterrupted full-time training in a workplace, which has been accepted by the advisor in charge of the study unit, as well as a written report of training. The students search and find their internship place on their own.

Information on vacant training placements will be available at the Faculty’s www-page: http://wiki.helsinki.fi/display/valtrekry . The Faculty has annually a limited number of grants sponsored by the university. To apply for this grant the students must have completed a minimum of 180 credits with basic and intermediate studies in Communication (or BA completed elsewhere). In case there are more applicants than the number of grants, the students are selected by lottery.

It may be somewhat difficult for international students who do not understand Finnish to find a position. They need to be more active themselves in searching for an appropriate place for internship. The internship may also be done abroad. Students may also apply for an Erasmus grant for internship in other European countries. The Erasmus office of the university gives more information about these grants and the application process.

In the required written report, the students are expected to write about their work experiences from a critical point of view. General instructions of Practical Training in the Faculty of Social Sciences: http://www.valt.helsinki.fi/faculty/Studies/internship/index.htm
