Find an internship

First, in the 3rd semester of your SWE program, find a job opportunity that interests you and is related to the ICT field. The focus of the internship should correspond to one of the following: software systems or mobile application development, software engineer, UI/UX or frontend developer, database systems architect, tester, DevOps engineer. In the company, the student must have a supervisor who meets the requirement of a university degree (MSc/Ing.) and a minimum of three years of experience in the field of the internship.

Individual steps

Start your search approximately 3 months in advance. If you don't know, follow the FI MUNI Industry Partners Association job posting and the Job Posting folder in the Course Study Materials, sign up for JobCheckIN, the Jobs site, Indeed, LinkedIn, etc.
You can also do your internship abroad and take advantage of Erasmus and other programs, or as a freemover - your own agreement and finances.
Remember that you can spend at least half of the time among colleagues in the company offices and less than 50% of the time in the home office.
Helpful tip: recruiters advise creating a LinkedIn profile.

We recommend combining two responsibilities into one, and writing your bachelor's thesis at the company in addition to your internship. Some of the most experienced and supportive companies in this regard are Red Hat, InQool, Oracle, and Monet+.
