Get an intern from our Bachelor in International Sales and Marketing programme

Interns contribute to both daily operations and smaller projects. Since this is a bachelor’s programme, the intern must be given responsibility for more tactical tasks.

These are examples of internship tasks and final bachelor projects:

• Daily tasks in a marketing department or agency. Development of strategies and marketing plans – e.g., for new products, target groups, or markets.
  

• Customer contact and preparation of customer satisfaction analyses for the Danish or export markets, followed by action plans.
  

• Sales or marketing tasks and major market/sales analyses for export markets – e.g., China, the UK, Australia, Spain, or Germany.
  

• Cold canvas (to a limited extent), sales meetings, and development of sales strategies, sales concepts, and sales plans.
  

• Daily work in HR and preparation of organisational analyses, studies on employee motivation or leadership, development of onboarding programmes, and recruitment processes.
  

• Procurement tasks such as ERP updates, order processing and follow-up, as well as analysis and evaluation of supply chains, procurement strategies, and routines.
  

• Participation in other daily operations.

It’s important that both the company and the student gain as much as possible from the internship. Therefore, both parties should be well-prepared and have an ambitious – and realistic – approach towards the collaboration.

The internship is a mandatory part of the programme, and the student is in the company to develop and learn. We recommend that the student be assigned to one or more contact people in the company – people they can consult with and who can help them gain insight into everyday operations, job functions, and business processes.

Before the internship starts, the student and the company agree on which tasks the student will work on, working hours, duration, etc.

There are minimum requirements for companies hosting interns to ensure quality in the internship process, see more here requirements for internship companies (pdf)

The internship starts in August and lasts for a minimum of 10 weeks. The internship and the student’s bachelor project collaboration with the company can be combined into one continuous period lasting up to 5 months.

As the internship is a part of an educational programme, your company is not obliged to pay a salary to the intern.

The company is allowed to give the student a ‘token’ payment of up to 3608 DKK per month (per 1. January 2025).

Subsidies for transport, rent and a phone, which the student can document are related to the internship, can be given without affecting the student's educational grant (SU).

A student who becomes aware of trade secrets during his/her internship may not share or use this information without prior approval as stipulated in the Commercial Secrets Act, §4.

Business Academy Aarhus employees and external co-examiners who are involved with internships are also covered by §4 of the Commercial Secrets Act, just as they have a duty of confidentiality pursuant to Chapter 8, Section §27 of the Public Administration Act.

If the internship takes place in a company in Denmark, the student is covered by the act on worker's compensation (lov om arbejdsskadesikring), cf. Ministerial Order no. 919 from 25 June 2024, and by the act on liability for damages (lov om erstatningsansvar).

It is therefore the internship company’s responsibility to insure the intern, just as all other employees are insured. Associations and sole proprietors are also covered by the duty to insure, even if you don’t have any other employees.

If the internship takes place in a company outside of Denmark, then it is the student's responsibility to examine and assess whether he or she can be covered by the company's insurance policies. In cases where the student is not covered by the company's insurance, the student must ensure that they have any necessary insurance.

The Bachelor’s Degree in International Sales and Marketing is a top-up programme (e.g., after an AP Degree in Marketing Management). The programme lasts 1½ years and qualifies students to handle practical and complex tasks within sales, marketing, procurement and HR.

Typical job titles include: Key Account Manager, Sales and Marketing Coordinator, HR Coordinator, Assistant Buyer, Project Coordinator etc.
