International internships are becoming more and more popular as they provide students with valuable real-life experience during their studies. Various options to do internships in Hungary include:
Dual education
Gaining practical experience in Hungary is provided by dual education, which is a unique system where university students have the chance to spend a few months at different companies or organisations to gain practice. Dual education means that a student is enrolled at a university while completing a traineeship at a company.
Programmes that may include dual education:
By taking part in this programme, you have the chance to gain some insight into the internal operation of a company and gain experience through professionals of a given field. By the end of your studies you will receive a significant amount of work experience, which will help you start your career and find a job. Information on programmes offered in dual education can be obtained from your university’s website.
