Academic and Professional internships are a great choice for those students wishing to enrich their background with an observational or practical experience. That is why students interested in performing an academic and/or professional internship, will only be allowed to do it within their degree. In this case, students may choose from activities inside and outside UNISC. However, there will always be an immediate supervisor.
For health degrees, for example, UNISC makes it available to foreign students observational internships in its hospital or medical clinics. Unisc offers foreign engineering students internship opportunities in local companies that are partners with the University. For this purpose, students must be clear about their specific needs when applying for the program, so our staff can find the perfect internship for them.
