Omschrijving	This module is structured as follows: 1. Preparation work placement (2 weeks, end of December) 2. Writing Plan of Action at company or policy organization (4 weeks) 3. Work placement (8 weeks) 4. Reflection days (1 week) 5. Work placement (3 months) 6. Wrap up (1 week) During the work placement outside the university the student acts as science advisor, who analyses a business or policy problem that needs scientific knowledge to solve it. The student then writes a report with well-argued suggestions to solve the problem. The student implements the skills he/she has learned in the modules Science and Business and Science and Policy. The student gets acquainted with the organization (structure, culture, personality) by performing tasks within the organization. Thus the student gets an valuable experience in a multidisciplinary environment. The work placement starts in January and ends in June/July. The student must find an work placement by himself, with help of the SBP-staff. It is important to start looking as soon as possible. The student is supervised by a SBP-staff member, a beta science staff member and a supervisor of the organization where the work placement takes place. The work placement should have a beta science aspect (25-50%), a business and/or policy aspect (25-50%) and sufficient prospects for implementation of the advice.

Opmerkingen	From those who enroll between April 1 and April 14, second year master students who will do the entire SBP-variant have priority. After April 14, admission will be in order of registration. The Science Business and Policy Master Track is in English. However, to some extent it can be considered bilingual. Some projects for Dutch organizations, especially policy organizations, can be in Dutch. Also some tutor groups for Dutch projects and personal development can be in Dutch. Some work placement organizations prefer a Dutch advice report. In short, in projects and tutor groups the practical situation is leading, whereas international students will always be able to chose for an English project. This course was previously registered with course code WNBIBEBS08
