All study programs require that students enrolled at IUS must perform an internship. It is recommended that students do an internship at the beginning of the third academic year. Students are expected to apply for internships in advance so they can get accepted for their internship by a particular organization and complete it in due time.

  All students perform an internship related to the field of their study program.

  The duration of practical training/internship is 30 days (25 working days) for all study programs of the University and the practical training/internship is evaluated as 6 ECTS. This is the minimum number of working days required and it can be more than 25 working days if the student chooses to do so. Internship period can be divided into separate sessions that may not be fewer than 10 days and different sessions may be completed in different organizations. For each session, a separate report will be prepared.

  Practical training/internship must be completed before graduation.

  The Academic Advisor for Internship is responsible for guiding, checking documents and approving the internship before the actual start of the internship period.

  The Academic Advisor for Internship is responsible for determining the grade to be assigned to the student after the internship period is concluded.

Internship is considered as unpaid work, and it is up to each organization to offer financial compensation to any intern.

Students may choose to perform an internship abroad. Any internship abroad is subject to the same condition, procedures and regulations as described above.

  The deadline for submission of this file is set by the Internship Advisor but not later than the last day of the Make-up Examination period (Academic Calendar) of the semester in which the internship is done.

  The Student and Career Center (SCC) is responsible for delivering all student reports to the relevant academic advisor for internship.
