• The Interim Project is based on taking up an internship in an organisation (company, state authority, etc.) with a focus in the area of study. The student's work in the course of the internship must comply with the T-shaped prifile, requiring both deep IT knowledge and experience and extensive overview and basic skills in other disciplines (economy, marketing, management, law etc.).

• While students may also choose from the offer published at the document server or from our partner companies (https://www.fi.muni.cz/for-partners/partners.html.en), it is up them to arrange their internship independently.
• Students must make sure the company guarantor meets the stipulated criteria, i.e. completed university education in a technical field with at least three years of experience in the area of the internship. The guarantor’s experience is calculated as of their university graduation.
• Student has a possibility to choose a business partner from a set of partners contracted by faculty for interim project accomplishment.
• Students must complete their entire Interim Project in one organisation. Exceptions are only possible with the lecturer’s consent. In case there is a threat of conflict of interests, the teacher may choose not to approve the course registration.
• IMPORTANT: As an essential precondition for approval of the registration/enrolment of the course the student must deliver signed Interim Proposal. Student will deliver the signed paper five days before enrolment at the latest to the course's Study Materials internship, specifically file: "Interim Proposal".
• At the beginning of the term (deadline to be specified by the lecturer) students will provide an Internship Acceptance Protocol. Students will deliver the Acceptance Protocol bearing signatures of the student and the company guarantor using the Homework Vaults.
• In the course of the term students will deliver the interim report electronically using the Homework Vaults (deadline to be specified by the lecturer).
