How can the Industrial Internship be completed?
1. By completing the Industrial Internship
The student completes the duration and number of hours specified in the curriculum at a suitable host organisation, and then submits the necessary details, certificates and – where required for the relevant degree programme – the internship report.
2. By having existing employment recognised
If a student is in continuous employment in a field related to technical management, they may apply to have this recognised as an industrial internship. This may include, for example, full-time employment, an internship or student work.
Acceptance is not automatic: the relevant details and a document certifying employment must be submitted via the designated online form.
Steps to completion
The student
1. enrols for the ‘Industrial Internship’ course in Neptun during the semester preceding the internship.
2. selects a suitable host organisation, or considers whether their current job can be accepted.
3. agrees the tasks, the period and the administrative arrangements with the company.
4. If necessary, initiate the signing of a contract as seen in the ‘Contract’ menu item.
5. Complete the internship or prepare proof of current employment.
6. Submit the details and documents via the relevant online form.
7. Check that the completion of the internship has been recorded in Neptun.
Submission deadlines
Deadlines for submitting data and documents:
Autumn semester: 30 January
Spring semester: 15 August
The deadlines apply to both the certification of completion of the Industrial Internship and the acceptance of current employment.
It is not advisable to leave obtaining the necessary documents until the last few days: it may take some time for the host organisation to provide signatures and certificates.
If the summer internship ends after 15 August, or if the student wishes to sit their final exams in that semester, please notify Timea Török (torok.timea@eng.unideb.hu) in advance by email. In your email, please state the planned end date of the internship and your plans regarding the final examination, so that we can coordinate the timetable for submission and assessment.
What period should be specified?
For Industrial Internship: please specify the actual period during which the internship was completed. If the internship was completed with interruptions, please enter the period on the form ranging from the start date of the first part to the end date of the final part.
When submitting evidence of existing employment: please specify a period of 6 weeks for BSc students and 4 weeks for MSc students during which the employment was in force.
Example of interrupted completion: if a student begins the internship in June and, after a break, completes it in August, the start date in June and the end date in August must be indicated on the form. The intervening break does not count as completed working time.
The submission interfaces and the required documents can be found under the ‘Certificates, documents’ menu item.
