10. Why? Credits Payment IAESTE internship: 4 to 52 weeks
> 4 weeks: 3 credits
> 6 weeks: 6 credits
3rd Bachelor and Master
Credits: bring in the internship for 3 to 6 credits. All you have to do is find a promotor and write a report
Receiving credits for an internship is only possible if you’re in your 3rd bachelor or higher
It is possible to do an IAESTE internship if you’re not in your 3rd bachelor yet, but there are way less options and the chances to be selected are slimmer.
You get paid enough to pay for rent and your living but only a minimum. To go out and do extra activities it is possible this allowance won’t suffice. But keep in mind: the experience = PRICELESS
