Learning outcomes

The field project offers students the opportunity to put to the test the knowledge they have acquired during their training, and to acquire new knowledge and skills directly related to the issues and realities they encounter on their assignments. This learning-by-doing dimension is at the heart of the assessment of this course. The field project is only open to students in the Business advice stream.

Goals

There are two main learning objectives:

- On the one hand, the field project enables students to put to the test the knowledge and conceptual tools they have acquired over almost four years. It fosters hands-on learning of subjects that have hitherto been approached in an essentially theoretical manner. This first objective can be described as practical. The precise content of the tasks to be accomplished and the assessment of the student's work at this level are the responsibility of the internship supervisor.

- On the other hand, the field project enables students to develop and put to the test cross-disciplinary skills of observation, problematization, analysis/synthesis and communication, which they will be able to mobilize for use in future professional circumstances. The definition of this second objective and the assessment of the student at this level are an academic responsibility.

The field project is carried out by students forming a team to carry out a consulting mission with a partner company. The composition of the team is validated by the academic managers of the field project and the Corporate Unit.

 

Content

Field project missions are defined in partnership with the host company/organization. They must be approved by the Corporate Unit (jean-luc.gustin@unamur.be) before the agreement is signed. During the course of the year, students are helped to identify a personal learning project that will be central to the assessment of this course.

Assessment method

The field project starts during the first year. The team of students write and present a mission statement. During the second year, the consulting mission is carried on. A mission report is written and presented.
