INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME FOR POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS
WINTER PERIOD – ACADEMIC YEAR 2026–2027
MSc in Digital Health
Dear Students,
An internship allows postgraduate students to apply their academic knowledge in a public or private work environment. These opportunities align with their studies and can be either self-funded or sponsored by business hosts.
The target is to connect the university with the labour market. In this direction, an attempt is made to create communication channels with the public and private sector thus promoting its most substantial assimilation of academic and educational knowledge, familiarizing students with the working environment and workplace requirements as well as the smoother transaction of participating students from the academic environment into the field of companies and organizations.
Before beginning an internship, students are required to apply for Expression of Interest – Statement of Training and carefully read the New Internship Regulation of the MSc in Digital Health (June2026).
