FAQ’s

1. I was not selected for any of the curricular internship proposals available on the FEP Career Portal. Can I find my internship?

   Yes, you can self-propose an internship together with a company, as long as your Master's Director validates it.

2. How should I choose my FEP Supervisor Internship?

   You should consult with your Master’s Director about the procedure for selection/assignment of the FEP’s supervisor and proceed accordingly.

3. When can I start my internship?

   The Internship may only begin after you are enrolled in the Dissertation / (Work) Project / Internship curricular unit and it may begin in the 1st or the 2nd semester of the 2nd year, accordingly to the functioning of the Dissertation /(Work) Project / Internship curricular unit for each master programme.

4. Is the curricular Internship paid?

   If there is an Internship Grant, this is the responsibility of the Host Company/Entity.
