Internship

The process of the MIFA internship is on an individual basis. Students find their Internship individually and may receive the support of the Faculty of Finance and Accounting by receiving a recommendation letter. The internship must be at least 3 months long in order to receive the 24 ECTS credits for the course 1FU593. The internship must be in the countries participating in the Erasmus+ programme.

List of Eligible Countries

The Internship cannot take place in the student’s home country.

Beginning with the Academic Year 2023/2024, students may have their Internship in the Czech Republic. The new accreditation for the Czech Republic was filed to help students link theory and practice in the country of studies!

Mobility Funding*In the new project period 2021-2027, the UK is no longer a programme country of Erasmus+, but a partner country. However, mobilities to the UK in the AY 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 might be financed from the previous Erasmus+ project 2014-2020.
