You can choose to undertake an internal or external internship.

Internal internships take place within the Department of Physics or another University Department, under the supervision of a tutor who is usually the thesis supervisor or another lecturer appointed by the Course of Study.

External internships are conducted at research institutions, institutes and public or private companies in agreement with the University, under the supervision of company tutor, i.e. a tutor from the host organisation, and a University tutor, usually the thesis supervisor or another lecturer from the Department of Physics appointed by the Course of Study.
To find an external host institution, check the internship proposals on the Department’s website.
