All undergraduate students in the Mathematics Department must complete a 20 days long summer internship program. Online internships of any form is no longer accepted. While in your internship program you can not enroll in any other class but you may choose to take classes in summer school and then complete your internship after summer school ends and fall semester begins that is between August 16 and September 14. For very special circumstances you may be allowed to complete your internship program during fall or spring semester. You are not allowed to enroll in classes if you complete your internship during fall or spring semester . University will provide insurance for longer periods of internships or for voluntary internships subject to department’s approval.

To complete your internship you should follow the following steps

  1. Apply to a suitable company for your internship. Research and Development department would be a good place if there is one in a company. You may want to see institutions chosen by our previous students. The work you undertake must be related to mathematics. If needed you may use the mandatory internship requirement form ( Form 1) .  Make sure you include a well prepared resume in you application as well. Once accepted have them sign (Form 2) and submit it (or any similar form the company/school can provide such as an acceptance letter) together with internship confirmation form (Form 3) to the internship coordinator. Internships that last less then 20 working days will not be accepted. Make sure the duration of internship entered in the forms covers at least 20 working days.

Student evaluation form and internship diary must be submitted to the internship coordinator by 5 pm on the first Friday of the week that the lectures starts in the fall semester.

  2. The internship committee makes the final evaluation of your internship.
