Internships

There is no “one size fits all” timeline for internships at NBS.

Summer Internship – As part of the degree programme, penultimate year students will
undergo a 10-week professional attachment during May-July. For double-degree
students, this will take place in their second year.

Winter Internship – Students going for overseas exchange in Semester Two of their
second academic year must complete their professional attachment during
December/January. This is provided that their term abroad starts late, allowing them
sufficient time to complete a winter internship before departure. The required duration is
shortened to eight weeks.

Part-time Internship – Students may elect to intern a couple of days per week during
the academic year. This requires them to carefully plan their course schedules such that
they can fulfill this internship commitment. Part-time internship can help students defray
their college expenses, maximize their time and soak up as much working experience
as possible.

Long-term internship – Another option which has gained popularity amongst NBS
students is the long-term internship of six months – January to June and July to
December. It’s all about accumulating solid work experience. One of the tangible
benefits of a long-term internship is the ability to participate in projects and see them
through from start to end. A Leave of Absence (LOA) must be approved by the
university in order for students to undertake this internship.
