This report should give us an insight into the structures and processes in the internship institution and provide us with information on how the interns are received, supervised and integrated there and whether they are actually assigned activities that are conducive to their studies. It serves as a basis for deciding whether an internship there “makes sense” and whether we can recommend other interns to this institution. We therefore expressly ask you to report any negative aspects to us. This information will of course be treated confidentially, but it is very important to us so that we can avoid future interns being given a bad review due to our ignorance of the situation at the internship institution.
Your report should focus on the following:
