The Process
Students will participate in an internship with an organization aligned with their professional interests, such as an NGO, government institution, or other relevant organization. Successful completion of the internship will grant students 4 academic credits and requires the completion of eight internship hours per week throughout the first two semesters of the program. If, for any reason, a student is unable to continue in the internship program or does not complete the required internship hours and related requirements, they will be required to complete two alternative courses in order to fulfill the program's academic requirements. Partial academic credit will not be awarded for an incomplete internship.
During exam periods, students are expected to continue their internship; however, reduction of hours or makeup hours can be discussed with the respective supervisors of each organizations.
Students will be required to record the internship hours completed each week using an Excel timesheet or a designated university documentation system. The completed record must be submitted to the program coordinator on a weekly basis for review and approval.
September
On September 14 at 17:00 (Israel time), an introductory meeting will be conducted with the internship program’s lecturer, Dr. Arielle Kaim, and the internships’ coordinator, Ms. Carmela Dilettoso. During the meeting, you will also meet representatives of some of the NGO’s. The meeting will be conducted via Zoom (link will be shared via email).
Following the introductory meeting, you are requested to review the Internship Booklet that is available on the program’s website and inform us of your preferences concerning the organizations you would be interested in conducting the internship. Kindly rank three options, in line with your preferences, and explain the reasons for these preferences. This will enable us to facilitate an interview with your preferred organization. Acceptance as an intern at the organization of your choice is not automatic and has to be approved by that organization, following an interview.
To enable us to coordinate the interview with your chosen organization, please prepare:
For each organization you list as a preference, please submit the following:
- A brief bio (no longer than one page)
- A cover letter explaining why you are interested in interning with that specific organization. The cover letter should be tailored individually to each organization; and Any additional assignment or document requested by the organization, if applicable.
- CV
The internship program will begin in the first week of the academic year (starting October 18th, 2026). Before the first week, a written agreement will be signed by the organization and the student, which will include a description of expectations, responsibilities, structure of the roles and responsibilities, as well as the main components of the relationship between them. We will coordinate the interview with the organization chosen by each student. If the chosen organization will not accept a student as an intern, we will coordinate another interview with the organization ranked by the student as a second choice, etc. The interviews will be conducted during September and early October 2026.
