1. Working Internship This internship is mostly taken in the first years of education. The student needs to work in a suitable company in an everyday routine to practice his/her skills and to learn as much as possible from professionals around them. For some part the work may also include tasks that are not completely related to his/her education, in other words: exposure to a variety of working experiences adds to the experience. 2. Graduating Internships (or Research Internships) This option is built around a specific subject, which the student needs to explore "in depth" and write a profound thesis about. As such the student needs to work as much as possible on the subject and the employer dedicates more time to sharing experiences and ideas with the intern. It is naturally that the intern can be less involved in the daily tasks of the company, as he/she needs more time for research and writing the thesis. |
