F. Internship (4 credits)

This is a mandatory requirement for graduation at the University. Participation in this program should be planned well in advance so that this requirement can be completed by the student at any time before graduation. Usually the students take part in this program during vacation periods in the third and/or fourth year of study. The minimum duration of internship is minimum 12 weeks under supervision of an appropriate qualified person. At the conclusion of the internship program a student should submit a report to the course teacher.

The internship is a form of learning that integrates a student’s academic experience with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. Internships allow ZUMS students to gain valuable applied experience and make professional connections, while also giving employers the opportunity to guide and evaluate talent. To ensure that the student’s experience is educational in nature, and thus eligible to be considered a legitimate internship, following criteria need to be met:

• There are clearly defined learning objectives related to the intern’s professional goals and/or academic coursework. The intern’s duties should not be the work that a regular employee would routinely perform.
• Supervision is provided by a professional with relevant expertise or education in the industry or occupation. Interns should not be required to use personal contacts (phone, email, and social
• The skills or knowledge learned must be applicable to the industry or transferable to other employment settings.
• Employers are responsible for creating a safe and respectful work environment.
• The credit-based internship programs offered to ZUMS students should also comply with other requirements set by the University authorities.
