Some programmes offer internships right from the start and several times during the programme. Some programmes offer a whole semester of internship in a company - e.g. for all engineering programmes.
During the internship, you learn how to translate your theoretical knowledge into practical skills and earn experience within the profession that you are being educated for.
While in your internship, you will receive guidance and feedback from the professional staff in your internship organisation. It is their responsibility to guide you through the internship.
”Internships give students great experience to put on our CVs, before we have even finished our studies. This makes it easier to find a student job, but also to get a job right after your studies are completed.” Maria Jose Ferreira, full degree Software Engineering student
