Bachelor - INTERNSHIP REPORT GUIDELINES
The following guidelines are offered as suggestions to help you with your internship report. Please discuss
specific requirements and expectations with your faculty reader. The report is a reflection of your internship
and its relationship to your studies: namely, how has the theoretical knowledge you have acquired in your
courses prepared you for this professional experience? Did any aspects of your internship surprise you,
based on what you have been learning, and if so which ones?
Finally, how has this professional experience impacted your understanding of the subjects you have been
studying? For a three-credit internship, your report should be at least ten (10) typed, double-spaced pages
in length; fifteen (15) pages for a four-credit internship, twenty (20) pages for a six credit internship.
Footnotes and bibliography should follow the format required in research in your field and should be used
for all sources of information.
1. The organization:
name, location, objectives (product, service), structure (size,
divisions, personnel, etc.), history, company policies, philosophy, financial data. Please
see details below.
2. An overview of the field/industry:
growth, dynamics, current trends economic situation. Details below.
3. The work assignment:
your duties and responsibilities, the means at your disposal to accomplish your assignment, your working
conditions (physical setting, hours, benefits), general atmosphere, co-workers and how they interacted with
you. Can you describe the “corporate culture?”
4. The research project:
this is to be discussed and decided upon with your faculty reader.
5. The internship experience:
reasons for the choice of this internship, results (completion of projects, acquisition of new skills,
application of classroom learning in a professional context).
6. Evaluation of the internship experience:
comparison of expectations with actual results, whether you feel better equipped to enter this field/industry
as a result of this internship, contribution towards future choices – graduate school, career, etc.
Information about the company/organization
Sources such as industry publications, company newsletters and other documents, and interviews with key
personnel can help you acquire a deeper understanding of your employer. In the private sector, the annual
report in particular will provide the following information: current objectives and policies, organization,
forecast of anticipated growth, accomplishments, description of operating divisions, financial review,
contributions to the industry or field. A comparison of the two most recent annual reports can be especially
revealing. In the case of an internship in a public service area (NGOs, museums, etc.), mission statements,
fundraising documents, and miscellaneous reports can clarify specific organizational aims and objectives.
Information about the field/industry
Your report should present information about the history, traditions, organizations, products, and expected
growth of the field or industry in which you are working. Where relevant, current issues, developments, and
the effect(s) of political and economic trends on the field or industry should be included.
