You must include the course in your study plan as an extra activity, inform the professor via email at the beginning of the course—or at the latest within a week of the exam date—about your intention to have the activity recognized as an internship, and attend according to the requirements set by the professor.
You must register for the exam, but the result will not be officially recorded by the professor. Instead, they will inform the Teaching Secretariat of the Department of Economics about the exam’s successful completion. The Teaching Secretariat will then forward the recognition to the Student Careers Office, which will update your study plan by removing the extra exam and registering the completion of the curricular internship.
The course can no longer be chosen as a free-choice exam. Conversely, if the exam has already been taken, it cannot be used for internship recognition.
