Students are required to take at least 30 ECTS credits worth of courses approved by the THEMIS network and to pass at least 24 ECTS credits in order for the semester to be considered valid for the Joint Certificate.

The semester abroad and internship in Europe can be supported by the Erasmus+ grant. For the Singapore Management University, the WU mobility grant is applicable. Please note that the courses abroad have to be recognized at WU. Grants for internships outside of Europe are not possible.

The internship must have an international and business law focus and has ideally be done abroad during the master’s program. The internship should be full-time (40h) and must last for a minimum of six consecutive weeks. For part-time internships please consult the International Office. The content assessment for the internship to be considered valid for the THEMIS-program will be done by the academic director of the master’s program. The internship has to be done close to the exchange time (either shortly before or shortly after your exchange semester).

Here you can find the pre-approvement form.
