3.      Critical Points to note Before Getting an Offer

 3.1    The job market is very stringent and competition is fierce. Do not expect high pay and comfortable jobs. Many organizations, including Government departments, look for keen helpers but not leisure players.

  3.2    We are competing with other universities for training

places. In addition to showing our abilities, we have to show commitment and dedication.

Summer Internships in FranceEPFL – A polytechnic University in France

More information: http://ic.epfl.ch/SummerAtEpfl http://ic.epfl.ch/page68132.html

The School of Computer and Communication Sciences provides internship opportunities in the Summer period for students enrolled in BSc, MSc, or equivalent programmes in Computer Science or Engineering, Telecommunications, or Electrical Engineering. Internships are assigned competitively to students with excellent academic results.

During a period of at least two months and including the whole month of August, internship students get the chance to learn new skills and to gain hands-on experience in their chosen field while working personally with leading senior scientists.

Participating students will work in a research unit, typically to solve problems which are usually part of major research efforts. Often, this will lead to performing challenging programming or design tasks to prove new concepts.

Being an intern at EPFL is a highly motivating learning and working experience in a competitive research environment, but it is also a great way to get familiar with another culture, to start building a network of connections in Switzerland, and to get prepared for a global career!
