Brewing Project in Practice
Course content
Project in Practice is an internship in the brewing industry giving a unique opportunity to follow the way from the raw materials through brewing, wort, fermentation, filtration to packaging and utility services. Through cooperation with breweries in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland we arrange the programme for the internship for you. In other countries (USA, UK, etc.) we assist you once you have established a contact.
This internship lasts for 9 weeks and covers production of wort, fermentation and beer processing, packaging and might also include soft drinks, mineral water and utilities (cooling, CO2, heat energy, compressed air, fresh and waste water treatment).
During the internship the students should work on a specific project agreed with the brewery and document the internship and project in a report.
The course responsible for this project in practice acts as supervisor and is responsible for 1) guiding the student in connection with the application for pre-authorization and the drawing up of a collaboration agreement with the host; 2) giving the student guidance throughout the project stay and 3) assessing the project report at the end of the project period.
