Internship rules

Internships can count as course units that merit 3 or 6 credits, provided they comply with the internship rules.

• VTK publishes internship positions at its website, and internships may also be found at the yearly jobfair.
• Check also our other student organizations, as they might do the same !
• IAESTE coordinates internships abroad.
• Some masters organize dedicated industry-related events where opportunities for internships are announced.
• You can contact companies yourself, or activate your network !
• Most of your professors have excellent relations with industry and are, for sure, prepared to help you in finding an exciting internship.
