Methods of implementation and completion of student internships

Internship independently arranged by the Student

A Student who arranges a professional internship on his/her own is obliged to provide, at least two weeks before the start of the professional internship, an “Application for the place of professional internship” with the consent of the Employer informing about the admission to the internship. On this basis, a Tripartite Agreement for the organization of professional internship is concluded and a set of documents for the implementation of the internship is issued.

Internship organized by the University

The student applies to the University for assistance in arranging the location of the internship. Students who want the place and date of the professional internship to be determined by the University are required to send their CVs (file name: first name, last name, field of study) containing consent to the processing of personal data to the following e-mail address: biuro.karier@wsei.pl
