NIT Northern Institute of Technology Management

The internship is an important component of the study programme. It gives students an opportunity to test and apply their theoretical knowledge in practice. Working students can develop an independent project in their companies.

If students carry out their projects in cooperation with companies, they can test direct applications on site during the practical phase lasting several weeks, test their product or service in direct contact with customers and get to know other relevant relationships in the company and on the corresponding market.

The internship experience also serves personal career orientation. Students get to know industries and companies/start-ups with relevance for their future career paths. Immersion in a real workplace over a period of several weeks offers the students an ideal opportunity to recognise the elements and aspects of their subject that really motivate and inspire them.

We invite applications from motivated candidates with:

• a proven record of personal and academic achievement
• a first degree (on Bachelor's level or higher) in Engineering, Technology, IT, Natural Sciences or a business related field
• a high level of proficiency in English
• an open mind and curiosity
• Professional experience is a plus, but it is not a requirement for admission.
