Syllabus

• 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 interim duration is 600 working hours, of which at least 300 will take place within the term's tuition period. Traineeship taken in AUTUMN term may start as early as July 1st, in SPRING term as early as January 1st of the pertinent year.
• 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.).
• The daily working shift will not exceed 8 hours.
• No contract between the Faculty and the organisation is required.
• 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 beforehand 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 can choose from vacancies on offer at business partners from the set of partners contracted by faculty at Faculty webpage.
• 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.
• ANTICIPATED STEPS:
• 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 and worksheet electronically using the Homework Vaults (deadline to be specified by the lecturer).
