10. CONCLUSION
On the whole, this internship was a useful experience. I have
gained new knowledge, skills and met many new people. I achieved
several of my learning goals, however for some the conditions did
not permit. I got insight into professional practice. I learned the
different facets of working within a automotive company. The
internship was also good to find out what my strengths and
weaknesses are. This helped me to define what skills and knowledge
I have to improve in the coming time. It would be better that the
knowledge level of the language is sufficient to contribute fully to
projects. After my master I think that I could start my working
career. However I could perform certain tasks in research better if I
practice/know more the research methodologies applied in
cetacean studies. It would also be better if I can present and
express myself more confidently.
