Internship

Advantages of doing an internship

Doing an internship can give you valuable insight into the labour market, expand your network, and provide vital work experience in your chosen field.

Factors to consider:

• The work tasks described in the internship vacancy should have a clear connection to your main subject.
• Your internship should form a significant part of the organisation’s/authority’s/company’s work.
• You should have a supervisor at your internship. The supervisor must be an employee and have experience in the field.
• The internship must be at an established workplace, but unpaid.
• The internship should be related to academia, not voluntary work.
