The Student's Guide to Internships

This course is intended to help students who are just starting their career find an internship that works for them and apply for it more efficiently. It covers many aspects of internship application, including:

• Determining your motivation for applying

• Deciding on the application path that works for you

• Choosing the right lab (or company) for you

• Making your application stand out

• Building experience when you don't have experience to begin with

• Handling rejection

• Asking for (and dealing with) feedback

• Navigating the internship once you've gotten it

The course can be completed without any prerequisites, and it is made to accompany you through most steps of the typical internship application process. It contains video lectures, as well as interviews with students and professors.

Note: more interviews are currently in production and will be added to the curriculum in the near future.

The Student's Guide to Internships is written and taught by Tea Danilović, BSc and recorded, edited, and produced by Sergei Romashkin. Its aim is to synthesize knowledge and advice gathered through years of experience and have it organized in one place, creating a comprehensive guide for students interested in doing internships in companies and research institutions around the world. The examples provided in the lectures are mostly research-related, but the principles can be applied outside of academia as well.
