Internship
During your internship, you will put the skills learned during courses to practice in a professional environment. The internship is mandatory and lasts for at least ten weeks.
Internships allow you to gain first-hand experience in business and apply lessons learned in the classroom. They enable you to identify your strengths and weaknesses, explore different career options and develop your network.
As an integral part of the programme, the internship is mandatory and lasts at least 10 weeks. You can do it in Switzerland or abroad in a company or a non-profit organization, according to your preference. You can also do additional voluntary internships.
Before starting the internship, you need to register it on the protected page internship platform. You will also find guidance on internship options and additional information there.
Upon submission of a brief internship report, the internship earns 6 CP. If not successfully completed, you can repeat the internship once.
