Internship at TalTech
Individual supervising/internship/project at our university is offered only when the student has a direct contact with our professor, who is willing to do voluntary work, as international exchange student’s individual supervision is not part of our processors’ academic career. This applies also for students who use Erasmus+ Recent Graduate scholarship. Minimum internship period has to be 2 months.
Important to know:
Application procedure may take some time.
Students from outside of European Union have to start their application procedure minimum 1-1,5 months before planned period of stay, as TalTech has to register your internship in Estonian Police and Boarder Guard Board as short term employment.
Internship, your insurance, tickets, accommodation or any other costs are not covered by TalTech.
