Checklist for you as a student
The contact person at the company has the responsibility to ensure that you receive access to:
• the materials needed to write the written thesis/perform the degree project.
• possible interview time with employees at the company/organisation (if needed for the project).
• a workspace at the company/organisation (if needed for the project).
Once the academic supervisor has approved the placement, you, together with the company, should clearly define the project to be performed as a part of the placement and answer the following questions in writing:
• What is to be implemented and how?
• What is the schedule for the continued work?
• What do you hope to achieve at the company?
• What are the company’s expectations of you and what do they hope to achieve with your project?
• Who will be the contact person for the company/organisation?
• What are the preconditions for carrying out the placement – how will any costs for materials, travel, printing, mailings, etc., be allocated?
• Who owns the eventual results?
• How is sensitive data to be dealt with?
• How should the final report be presented at the company/organisation?
Whether or not you are to receive any wages or other financial compensation is a matter between you and the company. This is to be dealt with between the two parties without involvement from the University.
