Important Information and Schedule Bachelor internships: SB100 SB200 Master internships: SA100 SA200 PLEASE, PAY ATTENTION FOR THE CHANGES IN THE INTERNSHIP PROCESS: We have created new registration courses SB100Reg, SB200Reg, SA100Reg and SA200Reg, which serve as a prerequisite for internship course registration SB100, SB200, SA100 and SA200. The change applies to those students who wish to complete the internship in the Spring 2025 semester and beyond. Brief Internship process: 1) Enroll for the “Reg” course (SB100Reg/SB200Reg/SA100Reg/SA200Reg) 2) Find and internship 3) Submit the Internship Proposal 4) Start the internship 5) Apply for the internship course enrolment (SB100/SB200/SA100/SA200) 6) Submit the Acceptance Protocol 7) Submit the Worksheet and Interim Report 8) End of the internship Note: You can find the registration/enrolment/teaching/exam periods in the Term Calendar of the faculty. Internship Conditions ● Job description must correspond to the composition of courses and graduate profile of the graduate of the given study programme. ● The internship takes place in one company, ideally under one guarantor. ● Internship extent: ○ 480 hours for B.Sc. internships ○ 400 hours for M.Sc. internships ● Minimum of 50% of the internship time (240 / 200 hours) must take place in the term of the teaching period (see Term Calendar). ● Minimum of 50% of the weekly hours take place on-site in the company with colleagues. Remote working (home office, HO) is admitted up to 50% of the weekly hours. If the student does not work in a team (for example an isolated office for one person), it is considered as a home office. Students fill in their weekly hours and on-site days and hours in the Acceptance Protocol. ● An internship conducted as a self-employed person (freelancing) will not be approved. ● Changes in the working days/hours report in advance. Only 1 change per internship is allowed (e.g. because of your schedule/when the school starts). Submit a file with a total number of weekly working hours, days and hours when you’ll work from the office. The change applies to the beginning of a new working week. ● Report the absence at the worksite in advance (sickness, holidays, business trips, etc.). These types of absences are not taken as a change of the working days/hours but still need to be reported in advance. ● Failure to upload individual documents within the specified deadlines may result in the inability to obtain credits (denoted as "z" or “k” grade). Similarly, if the deadline for uploading the Acceptance Protocol is missed, the internship will only be counted from the actual delivery date. ● In the event of a guarantor change, the student must notify the Faculty within 3 working days by uploading a new, signed Acceptance Protocol with the new guarantor. Any delay longer than this will not be considered towards fulfilling the traineeship requirements. ● Business trips are admitted as hours you have worked in the office. ● Internships can also be taken abroad (for instance https://www.fi.muni.cz/students/international-studies/internships.html). ● Companies located outside Brno (particularly the small ones) are subject to more detailed pre-enrollment checks due to complications associated with regular workplace inspections.Therefore, in such a case we recommend that you post your Proposal as soon as possible/in advance. ● In case of conflict of interests (e.g. family members as your guarantor or in the company management), the internship will not be admitted. ● The internship must end no later than 10 days before the end of the examination period.
