Majors which have special requirements regarding the Mandatory Internship

International Business Economics BA study programme

In the International Business Economics study programme in case of 8 semester long study programmes (for students who started their studies after 2020/2021/1 semester), It is possible to complete the mandatory internship after completing the 7th active semester.
In the International Business Economics study programme, two major-specific requirements must be met for mandatory internship:
- The internship must be carried out at a business organization that conducts international business activities. This is quite wide in the small and open Hungarian economy; it can generally be formulated so that the organization is part of the international value chain.
- The job role/position and tasks must be related to this activity. Examples: the purchasing department of a company if the supply chain is international, junior consultant at a multinational company, participation in export activities and research in the domestic market at a chemical multinational company. However, you cannot do accounting (accounting position) at a company, even if it is a multinational company (that is NOT related to International Business Economics), and cannot be a receptionist in a German-owned hotel in Spain (but e.g. can be a sales position at the same place).
- Further information about the internship is available on the following page: https://www.uni-corvinus.hu/post/landing-page/ba-international-business-for-current-students/#internship (If a 404 error message appears after clicking on the link, please click on the “Login” icon in the top right corner.

International Relations

The goal of professional internship is that the students get acquainted with and get involved with the daily work of the host institution (international organisation, NGO, company, public institution, etc.) that corresponds to their studies or specializations, carry out the tasks autonomously under the leadership of their professional leader or supervisor and gather experience about the possibilities of finding a job at the labour market. The optimum length of the internship is 4-5 weeks (consecutive weeks, without interruption), during which minimum 120 working hours must be completed.

The conditions of the approval of professional internship are the participation in the BA programme, having the to-be-developed and/or to-be-acquired competences, and the confirmation of these from the side of the host institution where the professional internship took place (by filling in the document titled “Assessment by the direct supervisor”). Besides, the general competences mentioned in Annex 2 (1. § (1)) of the Study and Examination Regulations the Department of International Relations considers the following particularly important, too:
- fluent oral and written professional communication in the chosen language;
- the knowledge and usage of concepts, notions and methods related to the issues of international economics, business, law, politics, and social relations.
In the case of International Studies BA study programme, any organization or institution that carries out its activities in an international or multicultural environment is considered an external place suitable for Mandatory Internship, either in Hungary or abroad, and which undertakes to accept the student for a mandatory internship, and then briefly evaluates the student’s activities at the end of the internship (”Evaluation Form for Mentors / Supervisors”). The organizations or institutions may continue their activities in any of the following areas:
- public sector (example: Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade; organizational units and departments of public institutions responsible for international and European relations), embassies and consulates in Hungary or abroad
- intergovernmental and non-governmental international organisations’ agencies in Hungary or abroad
- for-profit sector (example: multinational companies, TNCs, domestic companies with international and/or regional connections)
- media (printed, electronic) operating in the field of foreign policy journalism, international reporting in a highly professional manner
- non-profit sector, NGOs (whose activities draw attention to global or regional problems that cross borders, like environmental protection, human rights, humanitarian issues, international development, etc.)
- academic, research sphere (internships in research institutes are recommended for those who plan to continue their career in higher education or in the academic sphere)
- the internal organizational units of the Corvinus University of Budapest (for example, units dealing with international relations and international tenders)
Host institutions may require certifications with different professional content and status from applying students. The most important and the difference between them are the followings:
- The ”Letter of Support” issued by the Department of International Relations responsible for the International Relations BA programme, provides information about the programme the student participates in. The document can help the student to find a place for professional internship. The letter of support can be requested by e-mail, which contains the following data: name, Neptun ID, educational programme, grade, host institution (as well as the name and position of the competent person/leader/responsible manager/supervisor).
- A classic, personalized “Letter of Recommendation”: students are encouraged to ask for this document from a professor/instructor/tutor, who knows their knowledge, professional competences, personality, and the future career goals–and also the host institution–in order to prove the eligibility of the student to the chosen internship.
- The document titled “Certification of student legal status”, serving various purposes and certifying the student’s legal relationship and status, can be downloaded from the Neptun system.
  
  The ”Letter of Support” can be requested–throughout the study period–during the office hours of the teacher responsible for mandatory internship, and can also be received based on consultation by e-mail.
  
  The current office hours of the teachers can be viewed in the MyCorvinus application.

4. In the case of international studies, the ”Internship Report” of at least 1,500 words is required to complete the Mandatory Internship. The document must be prepared using a mandatory template and must be signed by the workplace supervisor/manager and the student.

The template for the ”Internship Report” can be accessed here: https://www.uni-corvinus.hu/contents/uploads/2023/04/Internat_studies_Professional_internship_report_template.15c.docx The ”Internship Report” can be accepted if the student’s designated supervisor and the student have both signed the document.
