After spending almost three years at Komar University of Science and Technology and earning over 85 credit hours, students need to acquire hands-on experience in a real work environment, where they have the opportunity to compare what they learn within the classroom with the actual and physical work conditions. This process is arranged for and orchestrated via the Internship Program (henceforth also referred to in this booklet as IP). It is a non-credit hour requirement that all students should complete prior to conducting their graduation project.

An internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. Internships give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in the professional fields they are considering for career paths and give employers the opportunity to guide and evaluate talent.
