Internship Programme/Practicum PDF Print

The Department participates in the Internship Programme (Practicum), co-funded by the PA (Partnership Agreement for the Development Framework) 2014-2020 for Greece, with resources originating from the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) of the European Union. Through the Internship Program Department students do internships at research institutes and organisations of the public, private and third sector (i.e. various social security organisations, hospitals, τhe Greek Ombudsman, public institutes of post-secondary education, various organisations operating under the auspices of the Greek ministries of Education, Labour, Justice, Health, etc., the Pedagogical Institute of Cyprus, Actionaid, Navarino Foundation, Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center, Eugenides Foundation, etc.). Students' Internships are monitored by the members of the academic staff who are in charge of the Programme and by academic staff student counselors. All Department students participate in the Programme and their performance is quite satisfactory. The Programme is considered as an important component of the Programme of Study as it enriches the students’ theoretical knowledge with valuable professional experience.

In the most recent review of the Programme of Study Internship/Practicum was assigned 15 ECTS and was moved to the 8th semester, when students are mature and are getting ready to enter the labour market.
