Guidance and Mentorship
During the placement, it is recommended that a student be assigned a mentor within your institution. This mentor plays a crucial role in the student’s day-to-day work and learning, collaborating with the study coordinator. They also act as a key point of contact for communication between the student, your organization, and the University, ensuring a smooth and productive partnership.
For your company, hosting a student for their Master’s thesis provides a unique opportunity to work closely with a future professional. You benefit from their comprehensive skill set, insights, and fresh perspectives while contributing to their academic growth. This collaboration not only fosters the development of the next generation of communication and media professionals but also positions your organization at the forefront of innovation and talent acquisition.

Collaborative Requirements
Duration Matters: Covering the Thesis Timeline
One of the first considerations for students and companies engaging in a combined thesis-work placement experience is the duration. Official recommendations suggest that the work placement should span the entire duration required for the completion of the thesis. Typically, this processing period is around 6 months. By ensuring that the work placement aligns with the thesis timeline, our students can immerse themselves fully in their research, and your company can benefit from the students’ commitment to their projects.
100% Commitment: A Win-Win Approach
It is highly recommended that 100% of the work time of our students is dedicated to both the Master’s thesis and the work placement. This commitment is not only essential for academic success but also for creating value for your company. By concentrating their efforts, students can make significant contributions to your organization while advancing their academic goals.
A Partnership Built on Mutual Success
The journey of writing a Master’s thesis while interning at a company is a remarkable opportunity for both students and for your company as host organizations. By adhering to official recommendations, you can ensure a smooth and productive collaboration.
To kickstart this mutually beneficial journey, let’s take the first step together. Reach out to explore the possibilities and embark on a thesis-work placement experience that promises growth and success for all involved!
