In principle, no. Students cannot be on a project-oriented course at the university, as this creates an unintended problem in conjunction with the Ministry's clarification that students are not allowed to receive a salary during the project-oriented internship. The university cannot allow students to carry out unpaid work for researchers.
Based on the above, when it comes to project-oriented courses, a distinction must be made between tasks that have a clear content of tasks that one would normally hire a student assistant to handle, and tasks that have an academic and learning purpose.
If, in connection with a specific request from a student, it is assessed that it is possible to set up an independent description of objectives with an individual test, the programme has the option of approving a self-studied topic for an individual student. In this case, the Study Board must grant an exemption from the rule that a project-oriented course is included in the programme, which is then replaced by the self-studied subject. It is a prerequisite for the self-studied subject that the student acquires knowledge, skills and competences at a minimum of the Bachelor's project level.
The programme will also have the opportunity to involve the students in the research in connection with the BA project and the Master's thesis.
In principle, yes. Students can be in a project-oriented course at the same place as their student job (but not if you work at SDU) under the following conditions:
- The student may not be included as labor during the stay in a public or private company.
- The student must – possibly in collaboration with the educational institution – determine the framework for the stay.
- There must be a clear purpose for the stay.
- The tasks you handle as part of the project-oriented course must not be the same as those you are employed to handle.
In principle, yes. However, this requires special approval by the study board, and the study board can set special conditions that must be met, e.g.:
- That there is a clear goal with the course.
- A description of the business idea.
- Information about which networks the student plans to join.
- That the student receives mentoring and support, and that he/she must take advantage of the opportunities for sparring, counselling and courses that SDU Entrepreneurship Labs offers.
In principle, no. Students have the opportunity to receive an acknowledgement in connection with the project-oriented course in Denmark and abroad under the following conditions:
- The student may not be included as labor during the stay in a public or private company.
- The student must – possibly in collaboration with the educational institution – determine the framework for the stay.
- There must not be a power to instruct and thus not an employment relationship, including not accruing holiday allowance.
- The gratuity may not be granted as a predetermined income which the person in question can expect to receive, in the same way as salary.
- It must be voluntary for the company whether or not it wants to give the person in question an acknowledgement.
- The amount may not exceed an amount corresponding to DKK 3,000 per month.
The company is the employer of the student obligation to insure during the project-oriented internship.
This means that the student, while he/she is on a project-oriented course at a company, i.e. staying at the company, is covered by the company's occupational injury insurance (e.g. if an accident occurs at the company in which the student is involved and he/she thereby incurs an occupational injury). This means that the student is to be regarded as being employed by the company in relation to insurance issues during the period during which the project-oriented course takes place.
The company is obliged to have workers' compensation insurance, even if it is a sole proprietorship.
