Master’s internship
Software Engineering (SA200)

• The main purpose of the placement is to gain practical work experience.
• Upon successful completion of the placement, you will receive 16 credits (15 + 1 credit for completion).
• In the course materials for SA200Reg and SA200, you will find both document templates and a ‘Important Information’ folder, where we set out all the deadlines and conditions for the placements.

Internship conditions

• During your placement, you can work as a software engineer, UI/UX or front-end developer, database system architect, tester, DevOps engineer, or in the field of software systems or mobile application development.
• The internship must be for a minimum of 400 hours, must take place entirely within a single organisation, and must not last longer than 3 semesters.
• Before starting the placement, you must complete the registration module SA200Reg.
• You may commence the placement at any time within one year of the placement proposal being approved.
• The placement may be carried out entirely from home.
• You must have a supervisor at the company who holds a university degree in a technical field and has at least three years’ professional experience in a related field since completing their studies.

Recommendations

• Start looking as soon as possible. If you don’t know where to start, keep an eye on 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, Jobs, Indeed, LinkedIn and other sites.
• 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 and make use of Erasmus and other programmes, or as a freemover – arranging your own agreement and funding.

FAQ

What about the SA200 and SA200Reg modules and how do I enrol in them?
Enrol for the registration course SA200Reg during the course enrolment period. As part of this course, you will find an internship and submit an internship proposal. Once your internship proposal has been approved and you have completed the feedback form, you will receive a credit. 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).

Which documents need to be submitted and when?

• Internship proposal – at least 14 days before your intended start date.
