While developing a range of marketable skills and competencies, internships will furthermore allow students to:

• apply course knowledge in practical situations within the work environment
• bridge the gap between undergraduate study and the labour market
• develop inner qualities and gain a practical understanding of the concept of individual responsibility, according to which external events are projections of one’s own inner state
• test individual career plans by obtaining experience in a chosen field, and thus helping one to better understand what it is that they really love to do
• develop a professional network and assess internship providers for future employment opportunities.
