Master’s internship
Software Systems and Services Management (SA100)

• The main purpose of the placement is to gain real-world work experience.
• You will receive 16 credits for successfully completing the placement.
• In the course materials for SA100Reg and SA100, you will find both document templates and a folder entitled ‘Important Information’, where we set out all the deadlines and conditions for the placements.

To successfully complete the placement, you must fulfil the following steps:

Internship conditions

• During your placement, you can gain experience in areas such as business process management and analysis, software testing, the development and administration of web interfaces and applications, UX design, UI or graphic design, implementing online marketing strategies or working on your own projects, and shadowing a SCRUM Master or project manager.
• The internship must comprise a minimum of 400 hours, take place entirely within a single organisation, and must not last longer than 3 semesters.
• Before commencing the placement, students must complete the registration module SA100Reg.
• You may commence the placement at any time within one year of the placement proposal being approved.
• The placement may be carried out 100% remotely.
• You must have a supervisor within the company who holds a university degree in a technical field and has at least three years’ professional experience in a related field since graduating.

Recommendations

• Start looking as soon as possible. If you’re not sure where to begin, check the listings from the Association of Industrial Partners at the Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University, and the ‘Job Offers’ folder in the course study materials; register on JobCheckIN, job sites, Indeed, LinkedIn and others.
• Submit all documents on time. Failure to meet deadlines may have a negative impact on the course of your placement.
• We recommend combining these two commitments into one, and writing your final dissertation at the company whilst on your placement. Among the most experienced and accommodating companies in this regard are Red Hat, InQool, Oracle and Monet+.
• You can also undertake an internship abroad, making use of Erasmus and other programmes, or as a freemover – arranging your own agreement and funding.

FAQ

What about the SA100 and SA100Reg modules and how do I enrol in them?

Enrol for the internship course for a number of credits such that the total corresponds to the full number of credits required (similar to bachelor’s and master’s theses).
