Amendments
As of 9 September 2011 Students wishing to graduate in December 2012 from the CEMS MIM Programme must start the
CEMS internship latest on 3 September 2012 An internship evaluation form must be handed in
to the home school by 15 October even if the internship has not been ended (page 5)
Legislation In Brazil Due to recent changes on the legislation of the Brazilian Student Visa it
is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
FOREWORD Dear CEMS Student

CEMS INTERNSHIP ABROAD
Internships provide students with the real-life professional learning experience of integrating
an organisationrsquos culture and processes The main objective is to turn academic experience
and theoretical knowledge into a professional multi-cultural experience They must

experience Internships can take place at a CEMS Corporate Partner although not on a
compulsory basis They can also take place at a non-profit organisation such as in a
humanitarian mission provided responsibility levels correspond

RECCOMENDATIONS BY
Denisa Zichackova (Corporate Services Manager CEMS Head Office) and Fredrik Alhberg
(Vice-President CEMS Student Board 2011)
Given the importance of the internship in the CEMS curriculum we would like to make some
recommendations that we hope will assist you in the process of obtaining an internship The
Internship Survey conducted by the CEMS Student Board in 2010 gives a good overview of the
industries in which students are most interested The results show that most students are
interested in internships in Strategic Consulting (21) Marketing amp Sales (14)
FinanceAudit (10) the Energy sector (9) and the BankingInsurance industry (9)
The full analysis can be downloaded at
httpwwwcemsorgsitesdefaultfilesCEMSMIMcurriculumCEMS_Student_Board_Report
_on_Internships_2010pdf
Many students try to take advantage of the summer break to do an internship Nevertheless
depending on the studentsrsquo homehost school combination the summer break is often not 10
weeks long which forces students to undertake the internship at another period of time
However many internships last longer than 10 weeks with the study showing that many
students accept internships that last six months Another interesting point worth remembering
is that the first 10 weeks of full-time employment can be validated as a CEMS internship as
long as it is performed abroad
An issue faced by many students is visa and work permit requirements This problem varies
greatly from country to country which makes it difficult to give specific recommendations
Obtaining a visa for a 10-week internship can be very hard Therefore students often accept
longer internships or search for direct entry positions We recommend all students who need a
visa for their internship to make sure they gather all the necessary information on visa and
work permit requirements of the country of their interest well in advance Also in order to
eliminate the visawork permit issue you may consider being hired locally for a graduate
programme that will enable you to travel internally within the company Please bear in mind
that some companies do not provide assistance in obtaining a visawork permit
To increase the chances of being hired for an internship 12 of students start searching 8-10
months ahead of time 22 begin applying 6-7 months in advance while 42 start 3-5 months
in advance Naturally the earlier you start and the more applications you send the greater
opportunities you have The most frequently used sources are companiesrsquo websites internet
job portals and established contacts
According to the Internship Survey conducted by the Student Board what students find most
difficult is the primary searching process and passing the initial screening Therefore it is in
your best interest to put more time and energy into mastering these processes Make use of
the career services offered at your schools and by CEMS It is advised to make good use of
the resources that CEMS provides JobMarket and Career Forum (career guidance sessions
career related skill seminars organised in conjunction with the Career Forum) Also take
advantage of the Official CEMS Group on LinkedIn (reserved for and administrated by CEMS
students and alumni) in order to get in touch with fellow students and alumni to
understand how they managed to find their internship or job Make the most of the great
networking opportunities the CEMS alliance offers
CEMS Corporate Partners are a good source for internships Yet be aware that between 1991
and 2010 the majority of internships were performed at non-Corporate Partners Therefore
apart from using contacts established with CEMS Corporate Partners during your MIM year
or at the Career Forum we also advise you to apply to non-Corporate Partners to increase
your chances of finding an internship

Legislation Legislative conditions for international students wishing to secure an internship in
Australia relate directly to the above statement concerning international student visas In
addition to this the Australian Government has different policies for each country within and
outside of the EU Therefore country-specific information should be acquired from the
Australian Government Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) website at
httpwwwimmigovau
International student visas DIAC have extremely complex rules and regulations relating to
international student visas which are subject to frequent legislative changes Visa policy also
varies dependent upon the applicantrsquos country of citizenship or permanent residency
11
For these reasons (and in line with university practice) the CEMS Office at the University of
Sydney does not provide written guidance in relation to visas Students are however directed
to the relevant DIAC website where the most up-to-date information and legislation can be
viewed
It is the responsibility of the incoming student to contact DIAC directly (either in person via
telephone or the internet) to research visa options and lodge applications on an individual
basis The CEMS Office at the University of Sydney can provide assistance in interpreting
government policy if required
Further information Australian Government Department of Immigration and Citizenship

and heshe will receive a confirmation of registration (EUR 1500 fee)
Nationals of non-EUEEA countries (so-called third-country nationals) need an entry or
residence permit for entry into and residence in Austria The type of permit depends on the
length and purpose of the stay Students from third countries need provided that they stay for
no longer than 6 months either

13
Working in Austria
The possibility for foreign students to take up gainful employment in Austria depends on their
nationality the kind of employment and - for third country nationals - on the type of this title
bull Nationals of Belgium Denmark Germany Finland France Greece Great Britain Ireland
Iceland Italy Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Portugal Sweden
Spain Cyprus or Switzerland are allowed to work in Austria without any further permit (eg
work permit) being required
bull Nationals of Bulgaria Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Poland Romania
Slovakia and Slovenia however still need a work permit because of transitional arrangements
(except for employment which is not subject to the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing
Employment of Foreign Nationals)
bull Students from all other countries (third countries) who are in possession of a valid residence
permit for study purposes (Aufenthaltsbewilligung Studierender) are allowed to work to a
limited extent and by respecting the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing Employment of
Foreign Nationals (Auslaumlnderbeschaumlftigungsgesetz - AuslBG) which as a rule require a work
permit Students must pay close attention to the following regulations since violation of these
regulations may lead to severe fines and to the imposition of a ban on residence In case of any
doubt students can enquire at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) or at an
advisory organisation before taking up a job
There are two different types of employment to be distinguished but both may not affect the
study progress (the studies have to be the primary purpose of staying in Austria)
1 Employment with employment-contract (unselbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
1a temporary employees (befristet beschaumlftigte Fremde) for a maximum duration of three
months per calendar year (primarily in tourism and agricultural and forestry enterprises) The
pre-requisite for this type of employment is a work permit which has to be applied for by the
14
employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case the
duration of the employment is limited (maximum of 3 months) but not the amount student may
earn
1b minimum income worker limited to an income of EUR 35747 per month (status of 2009)
The prerequisite for this type of employment is also a work permit which has to be applied for
by the employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case
the amount the student may earn is limited but not the duration of the employment
ad 1a +1b Please note that work permits are only granted in a limited number in consideration
of the Austrian labour market and if the job cannot be filled by a jobless Austrian or integrated
foreign worker
1c special cases eg unpaid trainees (Volontaumlre) or vocational internships (Berufspraktika)
Unpaid trainees are persons who are employed for up to three months per calendar year
exclusively for the purpose of acquiring practical knowledge and skills without commitment to
work and without any right to remuneration A vocational internship is an employment
(practical training) which is required by the study plan of an Austrian educational institution
with public status In both cases no work permit is required but the employer has to notify the
employment office (Arbeitsmarktservice) and the competent authority for taxes
(Abgabenbehoumlrde) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the employment
2 Self-employment (selbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
May be based on a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) No work permit is necessary for
this type of work Please pay attention to legal regulations on social insurance taxation and
trade law
Please note the difference between an employment contract (Dienstvertrag) and a contract for
work and labour (Werkvertrag) (not the name of the contract is relevant but the type of work
that is actually carried out)
bull An employment contract obliges someone to personal repeated and regular presence and
work in a fixed place of work (eg Monday to Thursday 900 to 1200 on the premises of X
15
company in Vienna) and you have to strictly follow the instructions of the employer You are
integrated into the organisation of your employer You are paid according to the hours you
work Your employer is obliged to report your employment to National Insurance for the
duration of your employment and to deduct the appropriate taxes from your salary
bull In the case of a contract for work and labour you only owe your employer the supply of a
specified serviceresult (eg addressing of 1000 envelopes) in carrying out this job you are not
bound to fixed working hours andor a fixed place of work (this means that you can carry out
the work for example at your home) or even have it carried out by somebody else You are only
paid for the tasksfor the result you accomplish With a contract for work and labour you will ndash
being self-employed ndash not be insured with National Insurance by your employer nor will heshe
deduct taxes Of both these things you have to take care yourself
Please note Since it is often difficult to determine whether a work contract is an employment
contract (Dienstvertrag) or a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) this however being
crucial to whether you need a work permit or not please make sure to enquire at the Chamber
of Labour the employment office or an advice institution before taking up a job

In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on

covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary

DENMARK ndash COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL
School support Vacant internships are mostly presented at a Job forum on the internal CBS
home pages called e-campus Students find them here httpse-campusdkjobs
At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships
except for the media industry instead companies employ students as part-time workers or
cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester
The CBS Career Centre offers every year a lot of company related events careers fairs etc
where the students always can ask for an internship
Contact Students are always welcome to contact the CBS Career Centre
httpse-campusdkcareer
Legislation There are no problems for EU and OslashSS citizens concerning Danish employment
laws The most important point is that the company insures the student during the stay in the
company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal
overall internship contract covering the Danish labour market
Further information There are no official sites dedicated to vacant internships in Denmark
Requested documents Residence and work permit proof of study at CBS up-to-date CV
For graduates A person can get an internship even after graduation from the home school

LegislationFurther informationRequested documents
Information about the legislative conditions for receiving an internship in Finland can be
obtained from the website of the Finnish Immigration Office
httpwwwmigrifinetcommcontentasparticle=1965amplanguage=EN
httpwwwinfopankkifien-GBinto
Legally and technically the Finnish authorities commonly consider internships as employment
(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Legislation
For EU 17EFTA nationals working for less than 3 months per year the employer do not need to
apply for a work permit but need to notify the competent cantonal immigration authorities
before they start working For an internship with a duration of more than 3 months a work
permit needs to be applied for
For EU 8+2 and Non-EUEFTA nationals a work permit is needed for every work stay in
Switzerland irrespective of the duration
55
For mandatory internships being part of the study program EU 8+2 and Non-EUEFTA students
may obtain a work permit for the limited period of the internship with the confirmation of the
university that such is mandatory Alternatively they may obtain a work permit limited to the
semester break with the confirmation of the university that the job does not interfere with the
study program
Further information httpwwwswissemigrationchthemenschweizindexhtmllang=en
For the latest update please check our overview of work permit regulations in Switzerland on
wwwcscunisgch under ldquoServices for International Studentsrdquo
Requested documents The application process is usually initiated by the employer submitting
the necessary application documents to the competent authority in the canton of residence or
work of the applicant Depending on the canton this can be the Municipal Office the

usually include a copy of the employment contract (salary and working conditions have to be in
line with country and industry standards) a passport photograph a copy of the passport CV
and diplomas of the applicant confirmation of the university that internship is mandatory
Company support The interest of companies to offer international students an internship
varies from company to company and depends on their business model and internal guidelines
Another factor is whether they are prepared to take the extra effort to go through the work
permit application process

Amendments
As of 9 September 2011 Students wishing to graduate in December 2012 from the CEMS MIM Programme must start the
CEMS internship latest on 3 September 2012 An internship evaluation form must be handed in
to the home school by 15 October even if the internship has not been ended (page 5)
Legislation In Brazil Due to recent changes on the legislation of the Brazilian Student Visa it
is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
FOREWORD Dear CEMS Student

CEMS INTERNSHIP ABROAD
Internships provide students with the real-life professional learning experience of integrating
an organisationrsquos culture and processes The main objective is to turn academic experience
and theoretical knowledge into a professional multi-cultural experience They must
therefore be at the level of a graduate recruit in order to provide valuable business
experience Internships can take place at a CEMS Corporate Partner although not on a
compulsory basis They can also take place at a non-profit organisation such as in a
humanitarian mission provided responsibility levels correspond

company (the first 10 weeks of a full-time employment position are also accepted)
bull Internships can take place at any time (also prior to CEMS selection) except parallel to

bull Internships have to be an intercultural experience and thus need to be carried out

RECCOMENDATIONS BY
Denisa Zichackova (Corporate Services Manager CEMS Head Office) and Fredrik Alhberg
(Vice-President CEMS Student Board 2011)
Given the importance of the internship in the CEMS curriculum we would like to make some
recommendations that we hope will assist you in the process of obtaining an internship The
Internship Survey conducted by the CEMS Student Board in 2010 gives a good overview of the
industries in which students are most interested The results show that most students are
interested in internships in Strategic Consulting (21) Marketing amp Sales (14)
FinanceAudit (10) the Energy sector (9) and the BankingInsurance industry (9)
The full analysis can be downloaded at
httpwwwcemsorgsitesdefaultfilesCEMSMIMcurriculumCEMS_Student_Board_Report
_on_Internships_2010pdf
Many students try to take advantage of the summer break to do an internship Nevertheless
depending on the studentsrsquo homehost school combination the summer break is often not 10
weeks long which forces students to undertake the internship at another period of time
However many internships last longer than 10 weeks with the study showing that many
students accept internships that last six months Another interesting point worth remembering
is that the first 10 weeks of full-time employment can be validated as a CEMS internship as
long as it is performed abroad
An issue faced by many students is visa and work permit requirements This problem varies
greatly from country to country which makes it difficult to give specific recommendations
Obtaining a visa for a 10-week internship can be very hard Therefore students often accept
longer internships or search for direct entry positions We recommend all students who need a
visa for their internship to make sure they gather all the necessary information on visa and
work permit requirements of the country of their interest well in advance Also in order to
eliminate the visawork permit issue you may consider being hired locally for a graduate
programme that will enable you to travel internally within the company Please bear in mind
that some companies do not provide assistance in obtaining a visawork permit
To increase the chances of being hired for an internship 12 of students start searching 8-10
months ahead of time 22 begin applying 6-7 months in advance while 42 start 3-5 months
in advance Naturally the earlier you start and the more applications you send the greater
opportunities you have The most frequently used sources are companiesrsquo websites internet
job portals and established contacts
According to the Internship Survey conducted by the Student Board what students find most
difficult is the primary searching process and passing the initial screening Therefore it is in
your best interest to put more time and energy into mastering these processes Make use of
the career services offered at your schools and by CEMS It is advised to make good use of
the resources that CEMS provides JobMarket and Career Forum (career guidance sessions
career related skill seminars organised in conjunction with the Career Forum) Also take
advantage of the Official CEMS Group on LinkedIn (reserved for and administrated by CEMS
students and alumni) in order to get in touch with fellow students and alumni to
understand how they managed to find their internship or job Make the most of the great
networking opportunities the CEMS alliance offers
CEMS Corporate Partners are a good source for internships Yet be aware that between 1991
and 2010 the majority of internships were performed at non-Corporate Partners Therefore
apart from using contacts established with CEMS Corporate Partners during your MIM year
or at the Career Forum we also advise you to apply to non-Corporate Partners to increase
your chances of finding an internship

Legislation Legislative conditions for international students wishing to secure an internship in
Australia relate directly to the above statement concerning international student visas In
addition to this the Australian Government has different policies for each country within and
outside of the EU Therefore country-specific information should be acquired from the
Australian Government Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) website at
httpwwwimmigovau
International student visas DIAC have extremely complex rules and regulations relating to
international student visas which are subject to frequent legislative changes Visa policy also
varies dependent upon the applicantrsquos country of citizenship or permanent residency
11
For these reasons (and in line with university practice) the CEMS Office at the University of
Sydney does not provide written guidance in relation to visas Students are however directed
to the relevant DIAC website where the most up-to-date information and legislation can be
viewed
It is the responsibility of the incoming student to contact DIAC directly (either in person via
telephone or the internet) to research visa options and lodge applications on an individual
basis The CEMS Office at the University of Sydney can provide assistance in interpreting
government policy if required

Working in Austria
The possibility for foreign students to take up gainful employment in Austria depends on their
nationality the kind of employment and - for third country nationals - on the type of this title
bull Nationals of Belgium Denmark Germany Finland France Greece Great Britain Ireland
Iceland Italy Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Portugal Sweden
Spain Cyprus or Switzerland are allowed to work in Austria without any further permit (eg
work permit) being required
bull Nationals of Bulgaria Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Poland Romania
Slovakia and Slovenia however still need a work permit because of transitional arrangements
(except for employment which is not subject to the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing
Employment of Foreign Nationals)
bull Students from all other countries (third countries) who are in possession of a valid residence
permit for study purposes (Aufenthaltsbewilligung Studierender) are allowed to work to a
limited extent and by respecting the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing Employment of
Foreign Nationals (Auslaumlnderbeschaumlftigungsgesetz - AuslBG) which as a rule require a work
permit Students must pay close attention to the following regulations since violation of these
regulations may lead to severe fines and to the imposition of a ban on residence In case of any
doubt students can enquire at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) or at an
advisory organisation before taking up a job
There are two different types of employment to be distinguished but both may not affect the
study progress (the studies have to be the primary purpose of staying in Austria)
1 Employment with employment-contract (unselbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
1a temporary employees (befristet beschaumlftigte Fremde) for a maximum duration of three
months per calendar year (primarily in tourism and agricultural and forestry enterprises) The
pre-requisite for this type of employment is a work permit which has to be applied for by the
14
employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case the
duration of the employment is limited (maximum of 3 months) but not the amount student may
earn
1b minimum income worker limited to an income of EUR 35747 per month (status of 2009)
The prerequisite for this type of employment is also a work permit which has to be applied for
by the employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case
the amount the student may earn is limited but not the duration of the employment
ad 1a +1b Please note that work permits are only granted in a limited number in consideration
of the Austrian labour market and if the job cannot be filled by a jobless Austrian or integrated
foreign worker
1c special cases eg unpaid trainees (Volontaumlre) or vocational internships (Berufspraktika)
Unpaid trainees are persons who are employed for up to three months per calendar year
exclusively for the purpose of acquiring practical knowledge and skills without commitment to
work and without any right to remuneration A vocational internship is an employment
(practical training) which is required by the study plan of an Austrian educational institution
with public status In both cases no work permit is required but the employer has to notify the
employment office (Arbeitsmarktservice) and the competent authority for taxes
(Abgabenbehoumlrde) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the employment
2 Self-employment (selbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
May be based on a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) No work permit is necessary for
this type of work Please pay attention to legal regulations on social insurance taxation and
trade law
Please note the difference between an employment contract (Dienstvertrag) and a contract for
work and labour (Werkvertrag) (not the name of the contract is relevant but the type of work
that is actually carried out)
bull An employment contract obliges someone to personal repeated and regular presence and
work in a fixed place of work (eg Monday to Thursday 900 to 1200 on the premises of X
15
company in Vienna) and you have to strictly follow the instructions of the employer You are
integrated into the organisation of your employer You are paid according to the hours you
work Your employer is obliged to report your employment to National Insurance for the
duration of your employment and to deduct the appropriate taxes from your salary
bull In the case of a contract for work and labour you only owe your employer the supply of a
specified serviceresult (eg addressing of 1000 envelopes) in carrying out this job you are not
bound to fixed working hours andor a fixed place of work (this means that you can carry out
the work for example at your home) or even have it carried out by somebody else You are only
paid for the tasksfor the result you accomplish With a contract for work and labour you will ndash
being self-employed ndash not be insured with National Insurance by your employer nor will heshe
deduct taxes Of both these things you have to take care yourself
Please note Since it is often difficult to determine whether a work contract is an employment
contract (Dienstvertrag) or a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) this however being
crucial to whether you need a work permit or not please make sure to enquire at the Chamber
of Labour the employment office or an advice institution before taking up a job

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV
20
Company support FGV-EAESP counts on the support of CEMS corporate partners through its
subsidiaries in Brazil
For graduates Graduates who have no student status any more cannot do an internship in
Brazil

(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Legislation In Brazil Due to recent changes on the legislation of the Brazilian Student Visa it
is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil

RECCOMENDATIONS BY
Denisa Zichackova (Corporate Services Manager CEMS Head Office) and Fredrik Alhberg
(Vice-President CEMS Student Board 2011)
Given the importance of the internship in the CEMS curriculum we would like to make some
recommendations that we hope will assist you in the process of obtaining an internship The
Internship Survey conducted by the CEMS Student Board in 2010 gives a good overview of the
industries in which students are most interested The results show that most students are
interested in internships in Strategic Consulting (21) Marketing amp Sales (14)
FinanceAudit (10) the Energy sector (9) and the BankingInsurance industry (9)
The full analysis can be downloaded at
httpwwwcemsorgsitesdefaultfilesCEMSMIMcurriculumCEMS_Student_Board_Report
_on_Internships_2010pdf
Many students try to take advantage of the summer break to do an internship Nevertheless
depending on the studentsrsquo homehost school combination the summer break is often not 10
weeks long which forces students to undertake the internship at another period of time
However many internships last longer than 10 weeks with the study showing that many
students accept internships that last six months Another interesting point worth remembering
is that the first 10 weeks of full-time employment can be validated as a CEMS internship as
long as it is performed abroad
An issue faced by many students is visa and work permit requirements This problem varies
greatly from country to country which makes it difficult to give specific recommendations
Obtaining a visa for a 10-week internship can be very hard Therefore students often accept
longer internships or search for direct entry positions We recommend all students who need a
visa for their internship to make sure they gather all the necessary information on visa and
work permit requirements of the country of their interest well in advance Also in order to
eliminate the visawork permit issue you may consider being hired locally for a graduate
programme that will enable you to travel internally within the company Please bear in mind
that some companies do not provide assistance in obtaining a visawork permit
To increase the chances of being hired for an internship 12 of students start searching 8-10
months ahead of time 22 begin applying 6-7 months in advance while 42 start 3-5 months
in advance Naturally the earlier you start and the more applications you send the greater
opportunities you have The most frequently used sources are companiesrsquo websites internet
job portals and established contacts
According to the Internship Survey conducted by the Student Board what students find most
difficult is the primary searching process and passing the initial screening Therefore it is in
your best interest to put more time and energy into mastering these processes Make use of
the career services offered at your schools and by CEMS It is advised to make good use of
the resources that CEMS provides JobMarket and Career Forum (career guidance sessions
career related skill seminars organised in conjunction with the Career Forum) Also take
advantage of the Official CEMS Group on LinkedIn (reserved for and administrated by CEMS
students and alumni) in order to get in touch with fellow students and alumni to
understand how they managed to find their internship or job Make the most of the great
networking opportunities the CEMS alliance offers
CEMS Corporate Partners are a good source for internships Yet be aware that between 1991
and 2010 the majority of internships were performed at non-Corporate Partners Therefore
apart from using contacts established with CEMS Corporate Partners during your MIM year
or at the Career Forum we also advise you to apply to non-Corporate Partners to increase
your chances of finding an internship

Legislation Legislative conditions for international students wishing to secure an internship in
Australia relate directly to the above statement concerning international student visas In
addition to this the Australian Government has different policies for each country within and

International student visas DIAC have extremely complex rules and regulations relating to
international student visas which are subject to frequent legislative changes Visa policy also
varies dependent upon the applicantrsquos country of citizenship or permanent residency

Working in Austria
The possibility for foreign students to take up gainful employment in Austria depends on their
nationality the kind of employment and - for third country nationals - on the type of this title
bull Nationals of Belgium Denmark Germany Finland France Greece Great Britain Ireland
Iceland Italy Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Portugal Sweden
Spain Cyprus or Switzerland are allowed to work in Austria without any further permit (eg
work permit) being required
bull Nationals of Bulgaria Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Poland Romania
Slovakia and Slovenia however still need a work permit because of transitional arrangements
(except for employment which is not subject to the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing
Employment of Foreign Nationals)
bull Students from all other countries (third countries) who are in possession of a valid residence
permit for study purposes (Aufenthaltsbewilligung Studierender) are allowed to work to a
limited extent and by respecting the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing Employment of
Foreign Nationals (Auslaumlnderbeschaumlftigungsgesetz - AuslBG) which as a rule require a work
permit Students must pay close attention to the following regulations since violation of these
regulations may lead to severe fines and to the imposition of a ban on residence In case of any
doubt students can enquire at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) or at an
advisory organisation before taking up a job
There are two different types of employment to be distinguished but both may not affect the
study progress (the studies have to be the primary purpose of staying in Austria)
1 Employment with employment-contract (unselbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
1a temporary employees (befristet beschaumlftigte Fremde) for a maximum duration of three
months per calendar year (primarily in tourism and agricultural and forestry enterprises) The
pre-requisite for this type of employment is a work permit which has to be applied for by the
14
employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case the
duration of the employment is limited (maximum of 3 months) but not the amount student may
earn
1b minimum income worker limited to an income of EUR 35747 per month (status of 2009)
The prerequisite for this type of employment is also a work permit which has to be applied for
by the employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case
the amount the student may earn is limited but not the duration of the employment
ad 1a +1b Please note that work permits are only granted in a limited number in consideration
of the Austrian labour market and if the job cannot be filled by a jobless Austrian or integrated
foreign worker
1c special cases eg unpaid trainees (Volontaumlre) or vocational internships (Berufspraktika)
Unpaid trainees are persons who are employed for up to three months per calendar year
exclusively for the purpose of acquiring practical knowledge and skills without commitment to
work and without any right to remuneration A vocational internship is an employment
(practical training) which is required by the study plan of an Austrian educational institution
with public status In both cases no work permit is required but the employer has to notify the
employment office (Arbeitsmarktservice) and the competent authority for taxes
(Abgabenbehoumlrde) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the employment
2 Self-employment (selbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
May be based on a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) No work permit is necessary for
this type of work Please pay attention to legal regulations on social insurance taxation and
trade law
Please note the difference between an employment contract (Dienstvertrag) and a contract for
work and labour (Werkvertrag) (not the name of the contract is relevant but the type of work
that is actually carried out)
bull An employment contract obliges someone to personal repeated and regular presence and
work in a fixed place of work (eg Monday to Thursday 900 to 1200 on the premises of X
15
company in Vienna) and you have to strictly follow the instructions of the employer You are
integrated into the organisation of your employer You are paid according to the hours you
work Your employer is obliged to report your employment to National Insurance for the
duration of your employment and to deduct the appropriate taxes from your salary
bull In the case of a contract for work and labour you only owe your employer the supply of a
specified serviceresult (eg addressing of 1000 envelopes) in carrying out this job you are not
bound to fixed working hours andor a fixed place of work (this means that you can carry out
the work for example at your home) or even have it carried out by somebody else You are only
paid for the tasksfor the result you accomplish With a contract for work and labour you will ndash
being self-employed ndash not be insured with National Insurance by your employer nor will heshe
deduct taxes Of both these things you have to take care yourself
Please note Since it is often difficult to determine whether a work contract is an employment
contract (Dienstvertrag) or a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) this however being
crucial to whether you need a work permit or not please make sure to enquire at the Chamber
of Labour the employment office or an advice institution before taking up a job

home pages called e-campus Students find them here httpse-campusdkjobs
At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships
except for the media industry instead companies employ students as part-time workers or
cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester
The CBS Career Centre offers every year a lot of company related events careers fairs etc
where the students always can ask for an internship

laws The most important point is that the company insures the student during the stay in the
company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal
overall internship contract covering the Danish labour market

(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

university if shehe meets the qualifications as set by the company

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

CEMS INTERNSHIP ABROAD

an organisationrsquos culture and processes The main objective is to turn academic experience
and theoretical knowledge into a professional multi-cultural experience They must

experience Internships can take place at a CEMS Corporate Partner although not on a
compulsory basis They can also take place at a non-profit organisation such as in a
humanitarian mission provided responsibility levels correspond
Students are responsible for finding their own internship If students wish to receive internship

company (the first 10 weeks of a full-time employment position are also accepted)
bull Internships can take place at any time (also prior to CEMS selection) except parallel to
their studies during the two MIM terms
bull Internships have to be an intercultural experience and thus need to be carried out

RECCOMENDATIONS BY
Denisa Zichackova (Corporate Services Manager CEMS Head Office) and Fredrik Alhberg
(Vice-President CEMS Student Board 2011)
Given the importance of the internship in the CEMS curriculum we would like to make some
recommendations that we hope will assist you in the process of obtaining an internship The
Internship Survey conducted by the CEMS Student Board in 2010 gives a good overview of the
industries in which students are most interested The results show that most students are
interested in internships in Strategic Consulting (21) Marketing amp Sales (14)
FinanceAudit (10) the Energy sector (9) and the BankingInsurance industry (9)
The full analysis can be downloaded at
httpwwwcemsorgsitesdefaultfilesCEMSMIMcurriculumCEMS_Student_Board_Report
_on_Internships_2010pdf
Many students try to take advantage of the summer break to do an internship Nevertheless
depending on the studentsrsquo homehost school combination the summer break is often not 10
weeks long which forces students to undertake the internship at another period of time
However many internships last longer than 10 weeks with the study showing that many
students accept internships that last six months Another interesting point worth remembering
is that the first 10 weeks of full-time employment can be validated as a CEMS internship as
long as it is performed abroad
An issue faced by many students is visa and work permit requirements This problem varies
greatly from country to country which makes it difficult to give specific recommendations
Obtaining a visa for a 10-week internship can be very hard Therefore students often accept
longer internships or search for direct entry positions We recommend all students who need a
visa for their internship to make sure they gather all the necessary information on visa and
work permit requirements of the country of their interest well in advance Also in order to
eliminate the visawork permit issue you may consider being hired locally for a graduate
programme that will enable you to travel internally within the company Please bear in mind
that some companies do not provide assistance in obtaining a visawork permit
To increase the chances of being hired for an internship 12 of students start searching 8-10
months ahead of time 22 begin applying 6-7 months in advance while 42 start 3-5 months
in advance Naturally the earlier you start and the more applications you send the greater
opportunities you have The most frequently used sources are companiesrsquo websites internet
job portals and established contacts
According to the Internship Survey conducted by the Student Board what students find most
difficult is the primary searching process and passing the initial screening Therefore it is in
your best interest to put more time and energy into mastering these processes Make use of
the career services offered at your schools and by CEMS It is advised to make good use of
the resources that CEMS provides JobMarket and Career Forum (career guidance sessions
career related skill seminars organised in conjunction with the Career Forum) Also take
advantage of the Official CEMS Group on LinkedIn (reserved for and administrated by CEMS
students and alumni) in order to get in touch with fellow students and alumni to
understand how they managed to find their internship or job Make the most of the great

Working in Austria
The possibility for foreign students to take up gainful employment in Austria depends on their
nationality the kind of employment and - for third country nationals - on the type of this title
bull Nationals of Belgium Denmark Germany Finland France Greece Great Britain Ireland
Iceland Italy Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Portugal Sweden
Spain Cyprus or Switzerland are allowed to work in Austria without any further permit (eg
work permit) being required
bull Nationals of Bulgaria Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Poland Romania
Slovakia and Slovenia however still need a work permit because of transitional arrangements
(except for employment which is not subject to the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing
Employment of Foreign Nationals)
bull Students from all other countries (third countries) who are in possession of a valid residence
permit for study purposes (Aufenthaltsbewilligung Studierender) are allowed to work to a
limited extent and by respecting the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing Employment of
Foreign Nationals (Auslaumlnderbeschaumlftigungsgesetz - AuslBG) which as a rule require a work
permit Students must pay close attention to the following regulations since violation of these
regulations may lead to severe fines and to the imposition of a ban on residence In case of any
doubt students can enquire at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) or at an
advisory organisation before taking up a job
There are two different types of employment to be distinguished but both may not affect the
study progress (the studies have to be the primary purpose of staying in Austria)
1 Employment with employment-contract (unselbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
1a temporary employees (befristet beschaumlftigte Fremde) for a maximum duration of three
months per calendar year (primarily in tourism and agricultural and forestry enterprises) The
pre-requisite for this type of employment is a work permit which has to be applied for by the
14
employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case the
duration of the employment is limited (maximum of 3 months) but not the amount student may
earn
1b minimum income worker limited to an income of EUR 35747 per month (status of 2009)
The prerequisite for this type of employment is also a work permit which has to be applied for
by the employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case
the amount the student may earn is limited but not the duration of the employment
ad 1a +1b Please note that work permits are only granted in a limited number in consideration
of the Austrian labour market and if the job cannot be filled by a jobless Austrian or integrated
foreign worker
1c special cases eg unpaid trainees (Volontaumlre) or vocational internships (Berufspraktika)
Unpaid trainees are persons who are employed for up to three months per calendar year
exclusively for the purpose of acquiring practical knowledge and skills without commitment to
work and without any right to remuneration A vocational internship is an employment
(practical training) which is required by the study plan of an Austrian educational institution
with public status In both cases no work permit is required but the employer has to notify the
employment office (Arbeitsmarktservice) and the competent authority for taxes
(Abgabenbehoumlrde) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the employment
2 Self-employment (selbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
May be based on a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) No work permit is necessary for
this type of work Please pay attention to legal regulations on social insurance taxation and
trade law
Please note the difference between an employment contract (Dienstvertrag) and a contract for
work and labour (Werkvertrag) (not the name of the contract is relevant but the type of work
that is actually carried out)
bull An employment contract obliges someone to personal repeated and regular presence and
work in a fixed place of work (eg Monday to Thursday 900 to 1200 on the premises of X
15
company in Vienna) and you have to strictly follow the instructions of the employer You are
integrated into the organisation of your employer You are paid according to the hours you
work Your employer is obliged to report your employment to National Insurance for the
duration of your employment and to deduct the appropriate taxes from your salary
bull In the case of a contract for work and labour you only owe your employer the supply of a
specified serviceresult (eg addressing of 1000 envelopes) in carrying out this job you are not
bound to fixed working hours andor a fixed place of work (this means that you can carry out
the work for example at your home) or even have it carried out by somebody else You are only
paid for the tasksfor the result you accomplish With a contract for work and labour you will ndash
being self-employed ndash not be insured with National Insurance by your employer nor will heshe
deduct taxes Of both these things you have to take care yourself
Please note Since it is often difficult to determine whether a work contract is an employment
contract (Dienstvertrag) or a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) this however being
crucial to whether you need a work permit or not please make sure to enquire at the Chamber
of Labour the employment office or an advice institution before taking up a job

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV
20
Company support FGV-EAESP counts on the support of CEMS corporate partners through its
subsidiaries in Brazil
For graduates Graduates who have no student status any more cannot do an internship in
Brazil

company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal

(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

university if shehe meets the qualifications as set by the company

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

RECCOMENDATIONS BY
Denisa Zichackova (Corporate Services Manager CEMS Head Office) and Fredrik Alhberg
(Vice-President CEMS Student Board 2011)
Given the importance of the internship in the CEMS curriculum we would like to make some
recommendations that we hope will assist you in the process of obtaining an internship The
Internship Survey conducted by the CEMS Student Board in 2010 gives a good overview of the
industries in which students are most interested The results show that most students are
interested in internships in Strategic Consulting (21) Marketing amp Sales (14)
FinanceAudit (10) the Energy sector (9) and the BankingInsurance industry (9)
The full analysis can be downloaded at
httpwwwcemsorgsitesdefaultfilesCEMSMIMcurriculumCEMS_Student_Board_Report
_on_Internships_2010pdf
Many students try to take advantage of the summer break to do an internship Nevertheless
depending on the studentsrsquo homehost school combination the summer break is often not 10
weeks long which forces students to undertake the internship at another period of time
However many internships last longer than 10 weeks with the study showing that many
students accept internships that last six months Another interesting point worth remembering
is that the first 10 weeks of full-time employment can be validated as a CEMS internship as
long as it is performed abroad
An issue faced by many students is visa and work permit requirements This problem varies
greatly from country to country which makes it difficult to give specific recommendations
Obtaining a visa for a 10-week internship can be very hard Therefore students often accept
longer internships or search for direct entry positions We recommend all students who need a
visa for their internship to make sure they gather all the necessary information on visa and
work permit requirements of the country of their interest well in advance Also in order to
eliminate the visawork permit issue you may consider being hired locally for a graduate
programme that will enable you to travel internally within the company Please bear in mind
that some companies do not provide assistance in obtaining a visawork permit
To increase the chances of being hired for an internship 12 of students start searching 8-10
months ahead of time 22 begin applying 6-7 months in advance while 42 start 3-5 months
in advance Naturally the earlier you start and the more applications you send the greater
opportunities you have The most frequently used sources are companiesrsquo websites internet
job portals and established contacts
According to the Internship Survey conducted by the Student Board what students find most
difficult is the primary searching process and passing the initial screening Therefore it is in
your best interest to put more time and energy into mastering these processes Make use of
the career services offered at your schools and by CEMS It is advised to make good use of
the resources that CEMS provides JobMarket and Career Forum (career guidance sessions
career related skill seminars organised in conjunction with the Career Forum) Also take
advantage of the Official CEMS Group on LinkedIn (reserved for and administrated by CEMS
students and alumni) in order to get in touch with fellow students and alumni to
understand how they managed to find their internship or job Make the most of the great
networking opportunities the CEMS alliance offers
CEMS Corporate Partners are a good source for internships Yet be aware that between 1991
and 2010 the majority of internships were performed at non-Corporate Partners Therefore
apart from using contacts established with CEMS Corporate Partners during your MIM year
or at the Career Forum we also advise you to apply to non-Corporate Partners to increase
your chances of finding an internship

Working in Austria
The possibility for foreign students to take up gainful employment in Austria depends on their
nationality the kind of employment and - for third country nationals - on the type of this title
bull Nationals of Belgium Denmark Germany Finland France Greece Great Britain Ireland
Iceland Italy Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Portugal Sweden
Spain Cyprus or Switzerland are allowed to work in Austria without any further permit (eg
work permit) being required
bull Nationals of Bulgaria Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Poland Romania
Slovakia and Slovenia however still need a work permit because of transitional arrangements
(except for employment which is not subject to the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing
Employment of Foreign Nationals)
bull Students from all other countries (third countries) who are in possession of a valid residence
permit for study purposes (Aufenthaltsbewilligung Studierender) are allowed to work to a
limited extent and by respecting the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing Employment of
Foreign Nationals (Auslaumlnderbeschaumlftigungsgesetz - AuslBG) which as a rule require a work
permit Students must pay close attention to the following regulations since violation of these
regulations may lead to severe fines and to the imposition of a ban on residence In case of any
doubt students can enquire at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) or at an
advisory organisation before taking up a job
There are two different types of employment to be distinguished but both may not affect the
study progress (the studies have to be the primary purpose of staying in Austria)
1 Employment with employment-contract (unselbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
1a temporary employees (befristet beschaumlftigte Fremde) for a maximum duration of three
months per calendar year (primarily in tourism and agricultural and forestry enterprises) The
pre-requisite for this type of employment is a work permit which has to be applied for by the
14
employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case the
duration of the employment is limited (maximum of 3 months) but not the amount student may
earn
1b minimum income worker limited to an income of EUR 35747 per month (status of 2009)
The prerequisite for this type of employment is also a work permit which has to be applied for
by the employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case
the amount the student may earn is limited but not the duration of the employment
ad 1a +1b Please note that work permits are only granted in a limited number in consideration
of the Austrian labour market and if the job cannot be filled by a jobless Austrian or integrated
foreign worker
1c special cases eg unpaid trainees (Volontaumlre) or vocational internships (Berufspraktika)
Unpaid trainees are persons who are employed for up to three months per calendar year
exclusively for the purpose of acquiring practical knowledge and skills without commitment to
work and without any right to remuneration A vocational internship is an employment
(practical training) which is required by the study plan of an Austrian educational institution
with public status In both cases no work permit is required but the employer has to notify the
employment office (Arbeitsmarktservice) and the competent authority for taxes
(Abgabenbehoumlrde) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the employment
2 Self-employment (selbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
May be based on a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) No work permit is necessary for
this type of work Please pay attention to legal regulations on social insurance taxation and
trade law
Please note the difference between an employment contract (Dienstvertrag) and a contract for
work and labour (Werkvertrag) (not the name of the contract is relevant but the type of work
that is actually carried out)
bull An employment contract obliges someone to personal repeated and regular presence and
work in a fixed place of work (eg Monday to Thursday 900 to 1200 on the premises of X
15
company in Vienna) and you have to strictly follow the instructions of the employer You are
integrated into the organisation of your employer You are paid according to the hours you
work Your employer is obliged to report your employment to National Insurance for the
duration of your employment and to deduct the appropriate taxes from your salary
bull In the case of a contract for work and labour you only owe your employer the supply of a
specified serviceresult (eg addressing of 1000 envelopes) in carrying out this job you are not
bound to fixed working hours andor a fixed place of work (this means that you can carry out
the work for example at your home) or even have it carried out by somebody else You are only
paid for the tasksfor the result you accomplish With a contract for work and labour you will ndash
being self-employed ndash not be insured with National Insurance by your employer nor will heshe
deduct taxes Of both these things you have to take care yourself
Please note Since it is often difficult to determine whether a work contract is an employment
contract (Dienstvertrag) or a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) this however being
crucial to whether you need a work permit or not please make sure to enquire at the Chamber
of Labour the employment office or an advice institution before taking up a job

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and

to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships

cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester

costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal

(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

PORTUGAL ndash NOVA SCHOOL OF BUSINESS amp ECONOMICS

a To explore with some of the main contact companies the possibility of internships in
Portugal for incoming students For example for the summer of 2011
a Millennium bcp is offering 1 internship in Portugal for a Polish student
b EDP is offering approximately 5 internships in Lisbon
b To individually assist CEMS students contacting NOVA with a specific internship project
(eg Internship in the Tourism area) This assistance consists in sending the CV to one or
several companies in Portugal the characteristics of which match the studentrsquos
internship project The school obviously offers assistance to students who are
individually contacting NOVA although no guarantees can be given
Contact CEMS Program Manager Elizabete Cardoso - ecardosonovasbept
Legislation Basically unlike other European countries there is no specific legislation relating
to salary benefits or duration for internships in companies in Portugal
A specific legislation with much more constraints applicable for all students including
Portuguese citizens exists for internships in the institutions that belong to the State
Requested documents The required documents for companies are the same as those required
for being a foreign student at NOVA
bull Visa
o EU citizens visa not required
o non EU citizens Student visa required for internships of 3 months or less
internship visa required for longer duration internships

financial subsidy) a fiscal number (NIFNumero de identificaccedilatildeo fiscal) is required Foreigners
can request a non-residential fiscal number to obtain this a permanent Portuguese address is
needed for further contacts with fiscal administration
45
Company support Human Resources Departments usually inform non-EU interns if they need
to obtain a fiscal number according to the internships agreement
For graduates Residence documents are required for non-EU graduates A valid working visa
will be necessary as well depending on the country of origin No specific requirements for EU
graduates besides the obligation of having a fiscal number

legislation cannot be of much help in terms of visa Much will also depend on the company

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

RECCOMENDATIONS BY
Denisa Zichackova (Corporate Services Manager CEMS Head Office) and Fredrik Alhberg
(Vice-President CEMS Student Board 2011)
Given the importance of the internship in the CEMS curriculum we would like to make some
recommendations that we hope will assist you in the process of obtaining an internship The
Internship Survey conducted by the CEMS Student Board in 2010 gives a good overview of the
industries in which students are most interested The results show that most students are
interested in internships in Strategic Consulting (21) Marketing amp Sales (14)
FinanceAudit (10) the Energy sector (9) and the BankingInsurance industry (9)
The full analysis can be downloaded at
httpwwwcemsorgsitesdefaultfilesCEMSMIMcurriculumCEMS_Student_Board_Report
_on_Internships_2010pdf
Many students try to take advantage of the summer break to do an internship Nevertheless
depending on the studentsrsquo homehost school combination the summer break is often not 10
weeks long which forces students to undertake the internship at another period of time
However many internships last longer than 10 weeks with the study showing that many
students accept internships that last six months Another interesting point worth remembering
is that the first 10 weeks of full-time employment can be validated as a CEMS internship as
long as it is performed abroad
An issue faced by many students is visa and work permit requirements This problem varies
greatly from country to country which makes it difficult to give specific recommendations
Obtaining a visa for a 10-week internship can be very hard Therefore students often accept
longer internships or search for direct entry positions We recommend all students who need a
visa for their internship to make sure they gather all the necessary information on visa and
work permit requirements of the country of their interest well in advance Also in order to
eliminate the visawork permit issue you may consider being hired locally for a graduate
programme that will enable you to travel internally within the company Please bear in mind
that some companies do not provide assistance in obtaining a visawork permit
To increase the chances of being hired for an internship 12 of students start searching 8-10
months ahead of time 22 begin applying 6-7 months in advance while 42 start 3-5 months
in advance Naturally the earlier you start and the more applications you send the greater
opportunities you have The most frequently used sources are companiesrsquo websites internet
job portals and established contacts
According to the Internship Survey conducted by the Student Board what students find most
difficult is the primary searching process and passing the initial screening Therefore it is in
your best interest to put more time and energy into mastering these processes Make use of
the career services offered at your schools and by CEMS It is advised to make good use of
the resources that CEMS provides JobMarket and Career Forum (career guidance sessions
career related skill seminars organised in conjunction with the Career Forum) Also take
advantage of the Official CEMS Group on LinkedIn (reserved for and administrated by CEMS
students and alumni) in order to get in touch with fellow students and alumni to

Working in Austria
The possibility for foreign students to take up gainful employment in Austria depends on their
nationality the kind of employment and - for third country nationals - on the type of this title
bull Nationals of Belgium Denmark Germany Finland France Greece Great Britain Ireland
Iceland Italy Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Portugal Sweden
Spain Cyprus or Switzerland are allowed to work in Austria without any further permit (eg
work permit) being required
bull Nationals of Bulgaria Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Poland Romania
Slovakia and Slovenia however still need a work permit because of transitional arrangements
(except for employment which is not subject to the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing
Employment of Foreign Nationals)
bull Students from all other countries (third countries) who are in possession of a valid residence
permit for study purposes (Aufenthaltsbewilligung Studierender) are allowed to work to a
limited extent and by respecting the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing Employment of
Foreign Nationals (Auslaumlnderbeschaumlftigungsgesetz - AuslBG) which as a rule require a work
permit Students must pay close attention to the following regulations since violation of these
regulations may lead to severe fines and to the imposition of a ban on residence In case of any
doubt students can enquire at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) or at an
advisory organisation before taking up a job
There are two different types of employment to be distinguished but both may not affect the
study progress (the studies have to be the primary purpose of staying in Austria)
1 Employment with employment-contract (unselbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
1a temporary employees (befristet beschaumlftigte Fremde) for a maximum duration of three
months per calendar year (primarily in tourism and agricultural and forestry enterprises) The
pre-requisite for this type of employment is a work permit which has to be applied for by the
14
employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case the
duration of the employment is limited (maximum of 3 months) but not the amount student may
earn
1b minimum income worker limited to an income of EUR 35747 per month (status of 2009)
The prerequisite for this type of employment is also a work permit which has to be applied for
by the employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case
the amount the student may earn is limited but not the duration of the employment
ad 1a +1b Please note that work permits are only granted in a limited number in consideration
of the Austrian labour market and if the job cannot be filled by a jobless Austrian or integrated
foreign worker
1c special cases eg unpaid trainees (Volontaumlre) or vocational internships (Berufspraktika)
Unpaid trainees are persons who are employed for up to three months per calendar year
exclusively for the purpose of acquiring practical knowledge and skills without commitment to
work and without any right to remuneration A vocational internship is an employment
(practical training) which is required by the study plan of an Austrian educational institution
with public status In both cases no work permit is required but the employer has to notify the
employment office (Arbeitsmarktservice) and the competent authority for taxes
(Abgabenbehoumlrde) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the employment
2 Self-employment (selbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
May be based on a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) No work permit is necessary for
this type of work Please pay attention to legal regulations on social insurance taxation and
trade law
Please note the difference between an employment contract (Dienstvertrag) and a contract for
work and labour (Werkvertrag) (not the name of the contract is relevant but the type of work
that is actually carried out)
bull An employment contract obliges someone to personal repeated and regular presence and
work in a fixed place of work (eg Monday to Thursday 900 to 1200 on the premises of X
15
company in Vienna) and you have to strictly follow the instructions of the employer You are
integrated into the organisation of your employer You are paid according to the hours you
work Your employer is obliged to report your employment to National Insurance for the
duration of your employment and to deduct the appropriate taxes from your salary
bull In the case of a contract for work and labour you only owe your employer the supply of a
specified serviceresult (eg addressing of 1000 envelopes) in carrying out this job you are not
bound to fixed working hours andor a fixed place of work (this means that you can carry out
the work for example at your home) or even have it carried out by somebody else You are only
paid for the tasksfor the result you accomplish With a contract for work and labour you will ndash
being self-employed ndash not be insured with National Insurance by your employer nor will heshe
deduct taxes Of both these things you have to take care yourself
Please note Since it is often difficult to determine whether a work contract is an employment
contract (Dienstvertrag) or a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) this however being
crucial to whether you need a work permit or not please make sure to enquire at the Chamber
of Labour the employment office or an advice institution before taking up a job

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV
20
Company support FGV-EAESP counts on the support of CEMS corporate partners through its
subsidiaries in Brazil
For graduates Graduates who have no student status any more cannot do an internship in
Brazil

costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal

(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

RECCOMENDATIONS BY
Denisa Zichackova (Corporate Services Manager CEMS Head Office) and Fredrik Alhberg
(Vice-President CEMS Student Board 2011)
Given the importance of the internship in the CEMS curriculum we would like to make some
recommendations that we hope will assist you in the process of obtaining an internship The
Internship Survey conducted by the CEMS Student Board in 2010 gives a good overview of the
industries in which students are most interested The results show that most students are
interested in internships in Strategic Consulting (21) Marketing amp Sales (14)
FinanceAudit (10) the Energy sector (9) and the BankingInsurance industry (9)
The full analysis can be downloaded at
httpwwwcemsorgsitesdefaultfilesCEMSMIMcurriculumCEMS_Student_Board_Report
_on_Internships_2010pdf
Many students try to take advantage of the summer break to do an internship Nevertheless
depending on the studentsrsquo homehost school combination the summer break is often not 10
weeks long which forces students to undertake the internship at another period of time
However many internships last longer than 10 weeks with the study showing that many
students accept internships that last six months Another interesting point worth remembering
is that the first 10 weeks of full-time employment can be validated as a CEMS internship as
long as it is performed abroad
An issue faced by many students is visa and work permit requirements This problem varies
greatly from country to country which makes it difficult to give specific recommendations
Obtaining a visa for a 10-week internship can be very hard Therefore students often accept
longer internships or search for direct entry positions We recommend all students who need a
visa for their internship to make sure they gather all the necessary information on visa and
work permit requirements of the country of their interest well in advance Also in order to
eliminate the visawork permit issue you may consider being hired locally for a graduate
programme that will enable you to travel internally within the company Please bear in mind
that some companies do not provide assistance in obtaining a visawork permit
To increase the chances of being hired for an internship 12 of students start searching 8-10
months ahead of time 22 begin applying 6-7 months in advance while 42 start 3-5 months
in advance Naturally the earlier you start and the more applications you send the greater
opportunities you have The most frequently used sources are companiesrsquo websites internet
job portals and established contacts
According to the Internship Survey conducted by the Student Board what students find most
difficult is the primary searching process and passing the initial screening Therefore it is in
your best interest to put more time and energy into mastering these processes Make use of
the career services offered at your schools and by CEMS It is advised to make good use of
the resources that CEMS provides JobMarket and Career Forum (career guidance sessions
career related skill seminars organised in conjunction with the Career Forum) Also take
advantage of the Official CEMS Group on LinkedIn (reserved for and administrated by CEMS
students and alumni) in order to get in touch with fellow students and alumni to
understand how they managed to find their internship or job Make the most of the great
networking opportunities the CEMS alliance offers
CEMS Corporate Partners are a good source for internships Yet be aware that between 1991
and 2010 the majority of internships were performed at non-Corporate Partners Therefore
apart from using contacts established with CEMS Corporate Partners during your MIM year
or at the Career Forum we also advise you to apply to non-Corporate Partners to increase
your chances of finding an internship

Legislation Legislative conditions for international students wishing to secure an internship in

international student visas which are subject to frequent legislative changes Visa policy also
varies dependent upon the applicantrsquos country of citizenship or permanent residency

Working in Austria
The possibility for foreign students to take up gainful employment in Austria depends on their
nationality the kind of employment and - for third country nationals - on the type of this title
bull Nationals of Belgium Denmark Germany Finland France Greece Great Britain Ireland
Iceland Italy Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Portugal Sweden
Spain Cyprus or Switzerland are allowed to work in Austria without any further permit (eg
work permit) being required
bull Nationals of Bulgaria Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Poland Romania
Slovakia and Slovenia however still need a work permit because of transitional arrangements
(except for employment which is not subject to the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing
Employment of Foreign Nationals)
bull Students from all other countries (third countries) who are in possession of a valid residence
permit for study purposes (Aufenthaltsbewilligung Studierender) are allowed to work to a
limited extent and by respecting the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing Employment of
Foreign Nationals (Auslaumlnderbeschaumlftigungsgesetz - AuslBG) which as a rule require a work
permit Students must pay close attention to the following regulations since violation of these
regulations may lead to severe fines and to the imposition of a ban on residence In case of any
doubt students can enquire at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) or at an
advisory organisation before taking up a job
There are two different types of employment to be distinguished but both may not affect the
study progress (the studies have to be the primary purpose of staying in Austria)
1 Employment with employment-contract (unselbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
1a temporary employees (befristet beschaumlftigte Fremde) for a maximum duration of three
months per calendar year (primarily in tourism and agricultural and forestry enterprises) The
pre-requisite for this type of employment is a work permit which has to be applied for by the
14
employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case the
duration of the employment is limited (maximum of 3 months) but not the amount student may
earn
1b minimum income worker limited to an income of EUR 35747 per month (status of 2009)
The prerequisite for this type of employment is also a work permit which has to be applied for
by the employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case
the amount the student may earn is limited but not the duration of the employment
ad 1a +1b Please note that work permits are only granted in a limited number in consideration
of the Austrian labour market and if the job cannot be filled by a jobless Austrian or integrated
foreign worker
1c special cases eg unpaid trainees (Volontaumlre) or vocational internships (Berufspraktika)
Unpaid trainees are persons who are employed for up to three months per calendar year
exclusively for the purpose of acquiring practical knowledge and skills without commitment to
work and without any right to remuneration A vocational internship is an employment
(practical training) which is required by the study plan of an Austrian educational institution
with public status In both cases no work permit is required but the employer has to notify the
employment office (Arbeitsmarktservice) and the competent authority for taxes
(Abgabenbehoumlrde) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the employment
2 Self-employment (selbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
May be based on a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) No work permit is necessary for
this type of work Please pay attention to legal regulations on social insurance taxation and
trade law
Please note the difference between an employment contract (Dienstvertrag) and a contract for
work and labour (Werkvertrag) (not the name of the contract is relevant but the type of work
that is actually carried out)
bull An employment contract obliges someone to personal repeated and regular presence and
work in a fixed place of work (eg Monday to Thursday 900 to 1200 on the premises of X
15
company in Vienna) and you have to strictly follow the instructions of the employer You are
integrated into the organisation of your employer You are paid according to the hours you
work Your employer is obliged to report your employment to National Insurance for the
duration of your employment and to deduct the appropriate taxes from your salary
bull In the case of a contract for work and labour you only owe your employer the supply of a
specified serviceresult (eg addressing of 1000 envelopes) in carrying out this job you are not
bound to fixed working hours andor a fixed place of work (this means that you can carry out
the work for example at your home) or even have it carried out by somebody else You are only
paid for the tasksfor the result you accomplish With a contract for work and labour you will ndash
being self-employed ndash not be insured with National Insurance by your employer nor will heshe
deduct taxes Of both these things you have to take care yourself
Please note Since it is often difficult to determine whether a work contract is an employment
contract (Dienstvertrag) or a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) this however being
crucial to whether you need a work permit or not please make sure to enquire at the Chamber
of Labour the employment office or an advice institution before taking up a job

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV
20
Company support FGV-EAESP counts on the support of CEMS corporate partners through its
subsidiaries in Brazil
For graduates Graduates who have no student status any more cannot do an internship in
Brazil

home pages called e-campus Students find them here httpse-campusdkjobs
At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships
except for the media industry instead companies employ students as part-time workers or
cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester
The CBS Career Centre offers every year a lot of company related events careers fairs etc
where the students always can ask for an internship
Contact Students are always welcome to contact the CBS Career Centre

laws The most important point is that the company insures the student during the stay in the
company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal
overall internship contract covering the Danish labour market

(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

permit for study purposes (Aufenthaltsbewilligung Studierender) are allowed to work to a
limited extent and by respecting the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing Employment of
Foreign Nationals (Auslaumlnderbeschaumlftigungsgesetz - AuslBG) which as a rule require a work
permit Students must pay close attention to the following regulations since violation of these
regulations may lead to severe fines and to the imposition of a ban on residence In case of any
doubt students can enquire at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) or at an
advisory organisation before taking up a job
There are two different types of employment to be distinguished but both may not affect the
study progress (the studies have to be the primary purpose of staying in Austria)
1 Employment with employment-contract (unselbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
1a temporary employees (befristet beschaumlftigte Fremde) for a maximum duration of three
months per calendar year (primarily in tourism and agricultural and forestry enterprises) The
pre-requisite for this type of employment is a work permit which has to be applied for by the
14
employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case the
duration of the employment is limited (maximum of 3 months) but not the amount student may
earn
1b minimum income worker limited to an income of EUR 35747 per month (status of 2009)
The prerequisite for this type of employment is also a work permit which has to be applied for
by the employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case
the amount the student may earn is limited but not the duration of the employment
ad 1a +1b Please note that work permits are only granted in a limited number in consideration
of the Austrian labour market and if the job cannot be filled by a jobless Austrian or integrated
foreign worker
1c special cases eg unpaid trainees (Volontaumlre) or vocational internships (Berufspraktika)
Unpaid trainees are persons who are employed for up to three months per calendar year
exclusively for the purpose of acquiring practical knowledge and skills without commitment to
work and without any right to remuneration A vocational internship is an employment
(practical training) which is required by the study plan of an Austrian educational institution
with public status In both cases no work permit is required but the employer has to notify the
employment office (Arbeitsmarktservice) and the competent authority for taxes
(Abgabenbehoumlrde) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the employment
2 Self-employment (selbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
May be based on a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) No work permit is necessary for
this type of work Please pay attention to legal regulations on social insurance taxation and
trade law
Please note the difference between an employment contract (Dienstvertrag) and a contract for
work and labour (Werkvertrag) (not the name of the contract is relevant but the type of work
that is actually carried out)
bull An employment contract obliges someone to personal repeated and regular presence and
work in a fixed place of work (eg Monday to Thursday 900 to 1200 on the premises of X
15
company in Vienna) and you have to strictly follow the instructions of the employer You are
integrated into the organisation of your employer You are paid according to the hours you
work Your employer is obliged to report your employment to National Insurance for the
duration of your employment and to deduct the appropriate taxes from your salary
bull In the case of a contract for work and labour you only owe your employer the supply of a
specified serviceresult (eg addressing of 1000 envelopes) in carrying out this job you are not
bound to fixed working hours andor a fixed place of work (this means that you can carry out
the work for example at your home) or even have it carried out by somebody else You are only
paid for the tasksfor the result you accomplish With a contract for work and labour you will ndash
being self-employed ndash not be insured with National Insurance by your employer nor will heshe
deduct taxes Of both these things you have to take care yourself
Please note Since it is often difficult to determine whether a work contract is an employment
contract (Dienstvertrag) or a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) this however being
crucial to whether you need a work permit or not please make sure to enquire at the Chamber
of Labour the employment office or an advice institution before taking up a job

School support FGV-EAESP Placement Office helps students in finding an internship It also
provides individual orientation to incoming students including company contacts CVs etc It is

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV
20
Company support FGV-EAESP counts on the support of CEMS corporate partners through its
subsidiaries in Brazil
For graduates Graduates who have no student status any more cannot do an internship in
Brazil

to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential

(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and

profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Working in Austria
The possibility for foreign students to take up gainful employment in Austria depends on their
nationality the kind of employment and - for third country nationals - on the type of this title
bull Nationals of Belgium Denmark Germany Finland France Greece Great Britain Ireland
Iceland Italy Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Portugal Sweden
Spain Cyprus or Switzerland are allowed to work in Austria without any further permit (eg
work permit) being required
bull Nationals of Bulgaria Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Poland Romania
Slovakia and Slovenia however still need a work permit because of transitional arrangements
(except for employment which is not subject to the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing
Employment of Foreign Nationals)
bull Students from all other countries (third countries) who are in possession of a valid residence
permit for study purposes (Aufenthaltsbewilligung Studierender) are allowed to work to a
limited extent and by respecting the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing Employment of
Foreign Nationals (Auslaumlnderbeschaumlftigungsgesetz - AuslBG) which as a rule require a work
permit Students must pay close attention to the following regulations since violation of these
regulations may lead to severe fines and to the imposition of a ban on residence In case of any
doubt students can enquire at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) or at an
advisory organisation before taking up a job
There are two different types of employment to be distinguished but both may not affect the
study progress (the studies have to be the primary purpose of staying in Austria)
1 Employment with employment-contract (unselbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
1a temporary employees (befristet beschaumlftigte Fremde) for a maximum duration of three
months per calendar year (primarily in tourism and agricultural and forestry enterprises) The
pre-requisite for this type of employment is a work permit which has to be applied for by the
14
employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case the
duration of the employment is limited (maximum of 3 months) but not the amount student may
earn
1b minimum income worker limited to an income of EUR 35747 per month (status of 2009)
The prerequisite for this type of employment is also a work permit which has to be applied for
by the employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case
the amount the student may earn is limited but not the duration of the employment
ad 1a +1b Please note that work permits are only granted in a limited number in consideration
of the Austrian labour market and if the job cannot be filled by a jobless Austrian or integrated
foreign worker
1c special cases eg unpaid trainees (Volontaumlre) or vocational internships (Berufspraktika)
Unpaid trainees are persons who are employed for up to three months per calendar year
exclusively for the purpose of acquiring practical knowledge and skills without commitment to
work and without any right to remuneration A vocational internship is an employment
(practical training) which is required by the study plan of an Austrian educational institution
with public status In both cases no work permit is required but the employer has to notify the
employment office (Arbeitsmarktservice) and the competent authority for taxes
(Abgabenbehoumlrde) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the employment
2 Self-employment (selbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
May be based on a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) No work permit is necessary for
this type of work Please pay attention to legal regulations on social insurance taxation and
trade law
Please note the difference between an employment contract (Dienstvertrag) and a contract for
work and labour (Werkvertrag) (not the name of the contract is relevant but the type of work
that is actually carried out)
bull An employment contract obliges someone to personal repeated and regular presence and
work in a fixed place of work (eg Monday to Thursday 900 to 1200 on the premises of X
15
company in Vienna) and you have to strictly follow the instructions of the employer You are
integrated into the organisation of your employer You are paid according to the hours you
work Your employer is obliged to report your employment to National Insurance for the
duration of your employment and to deduct the appropriate taxes from your salary
bull In the case of a contract for work and labour you only owe your employer the supply of a
specified serviceresult (eg addressing of 1000 envelopes) in carrying out this job you are not
bound to fixed working hours andor a fixed place of work (this means that you can carry out
the work for example at your home) or even have it carried out by somebody else You are only
paid for the tasksfor the result you accomplish With a contract for work and labour you will ndash
being self-employed ndash not be insured with National Insurance by your employer nor will heshe
deduct taxes Of both these things you have to take care yourself
Please note Since it is often difficult to determine whether a work contract is an employment
contract (Dienstvertrag) or a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) this however being
crucial to whether you need a work permit or not please make sure to enquire at the Chamber
of Labour the employment office or an advice institution before taking up a job

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV
20
Company support FGV-EAESP counts on the support of CEMS corporate partners through its
subsidiaries in Brazil
For graduates Graduates who have no student status any more cannot do an internship in
Brazil

home pages called e-campus Students find them here httpse-campusdkjobs
At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships
except for the media industry instead companies employ students as part-time workers or
cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester
The CBS Career Centre offers every year a lot of company related events careers fairs etc
where the students always can ask for an internship

Legislation There are no problems for EU and OslashSS citizens concerning Danish employment
laws The most important point is that the company insures the student during the stay in the
company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal
overall internship contract covering the Danish labour market

httpwwwmigrifinetcommcontentasparticle=1965amplanguage=EN

Legally and technically the Finnish authorities commonly consider internships as employment
(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

university if shehe meets the qualifications as set by the company

by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Working in Austria
The possibility for foreign students to take up gainful employment in Austria depends on their
nationality the kind of employment and - for third country nationals - on the type of this title
bull Nationals of Belgium Denmark Germany Finland France Greece Great Britain Ireland
Iceland Italy Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Portugal Sweden
Spain Cyprus or Switzerland are allowed to work in Austria without any further permit (eg
work permit) being required
bull Nationals of Bulgaria Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Poland Romania
Slovakia and Slovenia however still need a work permit because of transitional arrangements
(except for employment which is not subject to the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing
Employment of Foreign Nationals)
bull Students from all other countries (third countries) who are in possession of a valid residence
permit for study purposes (Aufenthaltsbewilligung Studierender) are allowed to work to a
limited extent and by respecting the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing Employment of
Foreign Nationals (Auslaumlnderbeschaumlftigungsgesetz - AuslBG) which as a rule require a work
permit Students must pay close attention to the following regulations since violation of these
regulations may lead to severe fines and to the imposition of a ban on residence In case of any
doubt students can enquire at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) or at an
advisory organisation before taking up a job
There are two different types of employment to be distinguished but both may not affect the
study progress (the studies have to be the primary purpose of staying in Austria)
1 Employment with employment-contract (unselbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
1a temporary employees (befristet beschaumlftigte Fremde) for a maximum duration of three
months per calendar year (primarily in tourism and agricultural and forestry enterprises) The
pre-requisite for this type of employment is a work permit which has to be applied for by the
14
employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case the
duration of the employment is limited (maximum of 3 months) but not the amount student may
earn
1b minimum income worker limited to an income of EUR 35747 per month (status of 2009)
The prerequisite for this type of employment is also a work permit which has to be applied for
by the employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case
the amount the student may earn is limited but not the duration of the employment
ad 1a +1b Please note that work permits are only granted in a limited number in consideration
of the Austrian labour market and if the job cannot be filled by a jobless Austrian or integrated
foreign worker
1c special cases eg unpaid trainees (Volontaumlre) or vocational internships (Berufspraktika)
Unpaid trainees are persons who are employed for up to three months per calendar year
exclusively for the purpose of acquiring practical knowledge and skills without commitment to
work and without any right to remuneration A vocational internship is an employment
(practical training) which is required by the study plan of an Austrian educational institution
with public status In both cases no work permit is required but the employer has to notify the
employment office (Arbeitsmarktservice) and the competent authority for taxes
(Abgabenbehoumlrde) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the employment
2 Self-employment (selbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
May be based on a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) No work permit is necessary for
this type of work Please pay attention to legal regulations on social insurance taxation and
trade law
Please note the difference between an employment contract (Dienstvertrag) and a contract for
work and labour (Werkvertrag) (not the name of the contract is relevant but the type of work
that is actually carried out)
bull An employment contract obliges someone to personal repeated and regular presence and
work in a fixed place of work (eg Monday to Thursday 900 to 1200 on the premises of X
15
company in Vienna) and you have to strictly follow the instructions of the employer You are
integrated into the organisation of your employer You are paid according to the hours you
work Your employer is obliged to report your employment to National Insurance for the
duration of your employment and to deduct the appropriate taxes from your salary
bull In the case of a contract for work and labour you only owe your employer the supply of a
specified serviceresult (eg addressing of 1000 envelopes) in carrying out this job you are not
bound to fixed working hours andor a fixed place of work (this means that you can carry out
the work for example at your home) or even have it carried out by somebody else You are only
paid for the tasksfor the result you accomplish With a contract for work and labour you will ndash
being self-employed ndash not be insured with National Insurance by your employer nor will heshe
deduct taxes Of both these things you have to take care yourself
Please note Since it is often difficult to determine whether a work contract is an employment
contract (Dienstvertrag) or a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) this however being
crucial to whether you need a work permit or not please make sure to enquire at the Chamber
of Labour the employment office or an advice institution before taking up a job

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV
20
Company support FGV-EAESP counts on the support of CEMS corporate partners through its
subsidiaries in Brazil
For graduates Graduates who have no student status any more cannot do an internship in
Brazil

home pages called e-campus Students find them here httpse-campusdkjobs
At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships
except for the media industry instead companies employ students as part-time workers or
cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester
The CBS Career Centre offers every year a lot of company related events careers fairs etc
where the students always can ask for an internship

laws The most important point is that the company insures the student during the stay in the
company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal
overall internship contract covering the Danish labour market

(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

Working in Austria
The possibility for foreign students to take up gainful employment in Austria depends on their
nationality the kind of employment and - for third country nationals - on the type of this title
bull Nationals of Belgium Denmark Germany Finland France Greece Great Britain Ireland
Iceland Italy Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Portugal Sweden
Spain Cyprus or Switzerland are allowed to work in Austria without any further permit (eg
work permit) being required
bull Nationals of Bulgaria Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Poland Romania
Slovakia and Slovenia however still need a work permit because of transitional arrangements
(except for employment which is not subject to the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing
Employment of Foreign Nationals)
bull Students from all other countries (third countries) who are in possession of a valid residence
permit for study purposes (Aufenthaltsbewilligung Studierender) are allowed to work to a
limited extent and by respecting the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing Employment of
Foreign Nationals (Auslaumlnderbeschaumlftigungsgesetz - AuslBG) which as a rule require a work
permit Students must pay close attention to the following regulations since violation of these
regulations may lead to severe fines and to the imposition of a ban on residence In case of any
doubt students can enquire at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) or at an
advisory organisation before taking up a job
There are two different types of employment to be distinguished but both may not affect the
study progress (the studies have to be the primary purpose of staying in Austria)
1 Employment with employment-contract (unselbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
1a temporary employees (befristet beschaumlftigte Fremde) for a maximum duration of three
months per calendar year (primarily in tourism and agricultural and forestry enterprises) The
pre-requisite for this type of employment is a work permit which has to be applied for by the
14
employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case the
duration of the employment is limited (maximum of 3 months) but not the amount student may
earn
1b minimum income worker limited to an income of EUR 35747 per month (status of 2009)
The prerequisite for this type of employment is also a work permit which has to be applied for
by the employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case
the amount the student may earn is limited but not the duration of the employment
ad 1a +1b Please note that work permits are only granted in a limited number in consideration
of the Austrian labour market and if the job cannot be filled by a jobless Austrian or integrated
foreign worker
1c special cases eg unpaid trainees (Volontaumlre) or vocational internships (Berufspraktika)
Unpaid trainees are persons who are employed for up to three months per calendar year
exclusively for the purpose of acquiring practical knowledge and skills without commitment to
work and without any right to remuneration A vocational internship is an employment
(practical training) which is required by the study plan of an Austrian educational institution
with public status In both cases no work permit is required but the employer has to notify the
employment office (Arbeitsmarktservice) and the competent authority for taxes
(Abgabenbehoumlrde) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the employment
2 Self-employment (selbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
May be based on a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) No work permit is necessary for
this type of work Please pay attention to legal regulations on social insurance taxation and
trade law
Please note the difference between an employment contract (Dienstvertrag) and a contract for
work and labour (Werkvertrag) (not the name of the contract is relevant but the type of work
that is actually carried out)
bull An employment contract obliges someone to personal repeated and regular presence and
work in a fixed place of work (eg Monday to Thursday 900 to 1200 on the premises of X
15
company in Vienna) and you have to strictly follow the instructions of the employer You are
integrated into the organisation of your employer You are paid according to the hours you
work Your employer is obliged to report your employment to National Insurance for the
duration of your employment and to deduct the appropriate taxes from your salary
bull In the case of a contract for work and labour you only owe your employer the supply of a
specified serviceresult (eg addressing of 1000 envelopes) in carrying out this job you are not
bound to fixed working hours andor a fixed place of work (this means that you can carry out
the work for example at your home) or even have it carried out by somebody else You are only
paid for the tasksfor the result you accomplish With a contract for work and labour you will ndash
being self-employed ndash not be insured with National Insurance by your employer nor will heshe
deduct taxes Of both these things you have to take care yourself

School support FGV-EAESP Placement Office helps students in finding an internship It also
provides individual orientation to incoming students including company contacts CVs etc It is

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV
20
Company support FGV-EAESP counts on the support of CEMS corporate partners through its
subsidiaries in Brazil
For graduates Graduates who have no student status any more cannot do an internship in
Brazil

home pages called e-campus Students find them here httpse-campusdkjobs
At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships

cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester

Legally and technically the Finnish authorities commonly consider internships as employment
(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

university if shehe meets the qualifications as set by the company

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position

profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Working in Austria
The possibility for foreign students to take up gainful employment in Austria depends on their
nationality the kind of employment and - for third country nationals - on the type of this title
bull Nationals of Belgium Denmark Germany Finland France Greece Great Britain Ireland
Iceland Italy Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Portugal Sweden
Spain Cyprus or Switzerland are allowed to work in Austria without any further permit (eg
work permit) being required
bull Nationals of Bulgaria Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Poland Romania
Slovakia and Slovenia however still need a work permit because of transitional arrangements
(except for employment which is not subject to the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing
Employment of Foreign Nationals)
bull Students from all other countries (third countries) who are in possession of a valid residence
permit for study purposes (Aufenthaltsbewilligung Studierender) are allowed to work to a
limited extent and by respecting the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing Employment of
Foreign Nationals (Auslaumlnderbeschaumlftigungsgesetz - AuslBG) which as a rule require a work
permit Students must pay close attention to the following regulations since violation of these
regulations may lead to severe fines and to the imposition of a ban on residence In case of any
doubt students can enquire at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) or at an
advisory organisation before taking up a job
There are two different types of employment to be distinguished but both may not affect the
study progress (the studies have to be the primary purpose of staying in Austria)
1 Employment with employment-contract (unselbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
1a temporary employees (befristet beschaumlftigte Fremde) for a maximum duration of three
months per calendar year (primarily in tourism and agricultural and forestry enterprises) The
pre-requisite for this type of employment is a work permit which has to be applied for by the
14
employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case the
duration of the employment is limited (maximum of 3 months) but not the amount student may
earn
1b minimum income worker limited to an income of EUR 35747 per month (status of 2009)
The prerequisite for this type of employment is also a work permit which has to be applied for
by the employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case
the amount the student may earn is limited but not the duration of the employment
ad 1a +1b Please note that work permits are only granted in a limited number in consideration
of the Austrian labour market and if the job cannot be filled by a jobless Austrian or integrated
foreign worker
1c special cases eg unpaid trainees (Volontaumlre) or vocational internships (Berufspraktika)
Unpaid trainees are persons who are employed for up to three months per calendar year
exclusively for the purpose of acquiring practical knowledge and skills without commitment to
work and without any right to remuneration A vocational internship is an employment
(practical training) which is required by the study plan of an Austrian educational institution
with public status In both cases no work permit is required but the employer has to notify the
employment office (Arbeitsmarktservice) and the competent authority for taxes
(Abgabenbehoumlrde) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the employment
2 Self-employment (selbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
May be based on a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) No work permit is necessary for
this type of work Please pay attention to legal regulations on social insurance taxation and
trade law
Please note the difference between an employment contract (Dienstvertrag) and a contract for
work and labour (Werkvertrag) (not the name of the contract is relevant but the type of work
that is actually carried out)
bull An employment contract obliges someone to personal repeated and regular presence and
work in a fixed place of work (eg Monday to Thursday 900 to 1200 on the premises of X
15
company in Vienna) and you have to strictly follow the instructions of the employer You are
integrated into the organisation of your employer You are paid according to the hours you
work Your employer is obliged to report your employment to National Insurance for the
duration of your employment and to deduct the appropriate taxes from your salary
bull In the case of a contract for work and labour you only owe your employer the supply of a
specified serviceresult (eg addressing of 1000 envelopes) in carrying out this job you are not
bound to fixed working hours andor a fixed place of work (this means that you can carry out
the work for example at your home) or even have it carried out by somebody else You are only
paid for the tasksfor the result you accomplish With a contract for work and labour you will ndash
being self-employed ndash not be insured with National Insurance by your employer nor will heshe
deduct taxes Of both these things you have to take care yourself
Please note Since it is often difficult to determine whether a work contract is an employment
contract (Dienstvertrag) or a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) this however being
crucial to whether you need a work permit or not please make sure to enquire at the Chamber
of Labour the employment office or an advice institution before taking up a job

School support FGV-EAESP Placement Office helps students in finding an internship It also
provides individual orientation to incoming students including company contacts CVs etc It is
important to note that in Brazil internships are perceived as a first step to a full-time job For

Contact Incoming students may contact FGV-EAESP Placement Office
Cecilia Noronha ndash Cecilianoronhafgvbr and Christiane Nagayassu ndash cecopfgvbr
Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV
20
Company support FGV-EAESP counts on the support of CEMS corporate partners through its
subsidiaries in Brazil
For graduates Graduates who have no student status any more cannot do an internship in
Brazil

home pages called e-campus Students find them here httpse-campusdkjobs
At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships

cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester

laws The most important point is that the company insures the student during the stay in the
company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal

(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Working in Austria
The possibility for foreign students to take up gainful employment in Austria depends on their
nationality the kind of employment and - for third country nationals - on the type of this title
bull Nationals of Belgium Denmark Germany Finland France Greece Great Britain Ireland
Iceland Italy Liechtenstein Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Portugal Sweden
Spain Cyprus or Switzerland are allowed to work in Austria without any further permit (eg
work permit) being required
bull Nationals of Bulgaria Czech Republic Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Poland Romania
Slovakia and Slovenia however still need a work permit because of transitional arrangements
(except for employment which is not subject to the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing
Employment of Foreign Nationals)
bull Students from all other countries (third countries) who are in possession of a valid residence
permit for study purposes (Aufenthaltsbewilligung Studierender) are allowed to work to a
limited extent and by respecting the regulations of the Austrian Act Governing Employment of
Foreign Nationals (Auslaumlnderbeschaumlftigungsgesetz - AuslBG) which as a rule require a work
permit Students must pay close attention to the following regulations since violation of these
regulations may lead to severe fines and to the imposition of a ban on residence In case of any
doubt students can enquire at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) or at an
advisory organisation before taking up a job
There are two different types of employment to be distinguished but both may not affect the
study progress (the studies have to be the primary purpose of staying in Austria)
1 Employment with employment-contract (unselbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
1a temporary employees (befristet beschaumlftigte Fremde) for a maximum duration of three
months per calendar year (primarily in tourism and agricultural and forestry enterprises) The
pre-requisite for this type of employment is a work permit which has to be applied for by the
14
employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case the
duration of the employment is limited (maximum of 3 months) but not the amount student may
earn
1b minimum income worker limited to an income of EUR 35747 per month (status of 2009)
The prerequisite for this type of employment is also a work permit which has to be applied for
by the employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case
the amount the student may earn is limited but not the duration of the employment
ad 1a +1b Please note that work permits are only granted in a limited number in consideration
of the Austrian labour market and if the job cannot be filled by a jobless Austrian or integrated
foreign worker
1c special cases eg unpaid trainees (Volontaumlre) or vocational internships (Berufspraktika)
Unpaid trainees are persons who are employed for up to three months per calendar year
exclusively for the purpose of acquiring practical knowledge and skills without commitment to
work and without any right to remuneration A vocational internship is an employment
(practical training) which is required by the study plan of an Austrian educational institution
with public status In both cases no work permit is required but the employer has to notify the
employment office (Arbeitsmarktservice) and the competent authority for taxes
(Abgabenbehoumlrde) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the employment
2 Self-employment (selbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
May be based on a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) No work permit is necessary for
this type of work Please pay attention to legal regulations on social insurance taxation and
trade law
Please note the difference between an employment contract (Dienstvertrag) and a contract for
work and labour (Werkvertrag) (not the name of the contract is relevant but the type of work
that is actually carried out)
bull An employment contract obliges someone to personal repeated and regular presence and
work in a fixed place of work (eg Monday to Thursday 900 to 1200 on the premises of X
15
company in Vienna) and you have to strictly follow the instructions of the employer You are
integrated into the organisation of your employer You are paid according to the hours you
work Your employer is obliged to report your employment to National Insurance for the
duration of your employment and to deduct the appropriate taxes from your salary
bull In the case of a contract for work and labour you only owe your employer the supply of a
specified serviceresult (eg addressing of 1000 envelopes) in carrying out this job you are not
bound to fixed working hours andor a fixed place of work (this means that you can carry out
the work for example at your home) or even have it carried out by somebody else You are only
paid for the tasksfor the result you accomplish With a contract for work and labour you will ndash
being self-employed ndash not be insured with National Insurance by your employer nor will heshe
deduct taxes Of both these things you have to take care yourself
Please note Since it is often difficult to determine whether a work contract is an employment
contract (Dienstvertrag) or a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) this however being
crucial to whether you need a work permit or not please make sure to enquire at the Chamber
of Labour the employment office or an advice institution before taking up a job

School support FGV-EAESP Placement Office helps students in finding an internship It also
provides individual orientation to incoming students including company contacts CVs etc It is
important to note that in Brazil internships are perceived as a first step to a full-time job For

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV
20
Company support FGV-EAESP counts on the support of CEMS corporate partners through its
subsidiaries in Brazil
For graduates Graduates who have no student status any more cannot do an internship in
Brazil

home pages called e-campus Students find them here httpse-campusdkjobs
At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships
except for the media industry instead companies employ students as part-time workers or
cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester
The CBS Career Centre offers every year a lot of company related events careers fairs etc
where the students always can ask for an internship
Contact Students are always welcome to contact the CBS Career Centre

Legislation There are no problems for EU and OslashSS citizens concerning Danish employment
laws The most important point is that the company insures the student during the stay in the
company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal

Legally and technically the Finnish authorities commonly consider internships as employment
(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

university if shehe meets the qualifications as set by the company

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Legislation
For EU 17EFTA nationals working for less than 3 months per year the employer do not need to
apply for a work permit but need to notify the competent cantonal immigration authorities
before they start working For an internship with a duration of more than 3 months a work
permit needs to be applied for
For EU 8+2 and Non-EUEFTA nationals a work permit is needed for every work stay in
Switzerland irrespective of the duration
55
For mandatory internships being part of the study program EU 8+2 and Non-EUEFTA students
may obtain a work permit for the limited period of the internship with the confirmation of the
university that such is mandatory Alternatively they may obtain a work permit limited to the
semester break with the confirmation of the university that the job does not interfere with the
study program
Further information httpwwwswissemigrationchthemenschweizindexhtmllang=en
For the latest update please check our overview of work permit regulations in Switzerland on
wwwcscunisgch under ldquoServices for International Studentsrdquo
Requested documents The application process is usually initiated by the employer submitting
the necessary application documents to the competent authority in the canton of residence or
work of the applicant Depending on the canton this can be the Municipal Office the
Department for Migration or the Department for Commerce
The documents required for the application are determined by the competent authority and
usually include a copy of the employment contract (salary and working conditions have to be in
line with country and industry standards) a passport photograph a copy of the passport CV
and diplomas of the applicant confirmation of the university that internship is mandatory
Company support The interest of companies to offer international students an internship
varies from company to company and depends on their business model and internal guidelines
Another factor is whether they are prepared to take the extra effort to go through the work
permit application process
For graduates Internships after graduation are possible for EU 17EFTA nationals

duration of the employment is limited (maximum of 3 months) but not the amount student may
earn
1b minimum income worker limited to an income of EUR 35747 per month (status of 2009)
The prerequisite for this type of employment is also a work permit which has to be applied for
by the employer at the employment office (ArbeitsmarktserviceAMS) in advance In this case
the amount the student may earn is limited but not the duration of the employment
ad 1a +1b Please note that work permits are only granted in a limited number in consideration
of the Austrian labour market and if the job cannot be filled by a jobless Austrian or integrated
foreign worker
1c special cases eg unpaid trainees (Volontaumlre) or vocational internships (Berufspraktika)
Unpaid trainees are persons who are employed for up to three months per calendar year
exclusively for the purpose of acquiring practical knowledge and skills without commitment to
work and without any right to remuneration A vocational internship is an employment
(practical training) which is required by the study plan of an Austrian educational institution
with public status In both cases no work permit is required but the employer has to notify the
employment office (Arbeitsmarktservice) and the competent authority for taxes
(Abgabenbehoumlrde) at least 2 weeks before the beginning of the employment
2 Self-employment (selbstaumlndige Erwerbstaumltigkeit)
May be based on a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) No work permit is necessary for
this type of work Please pay attention to legal regulations on social insurance taxation and
trade law
Please note the difference between an employment contract (Dienstvertrag) and a contract for
work and labour (Werkvertrag) (not the name of the contract is relevant but the type of work
that is actually carried out)
bull An employment contract obliges someone to personal repeated and regular presence and
work in a fixed place of work (eg Monday to Thursday 900 to 1200 on the premises of X
15
company in Vienna) and you have to strictly follow the instructions of the employer You are
integrated into the organisation of your employer You are paid according to the hours you
work Your employer is obliged to report your employment to National Insurance for the
duration of your employment and to deduct the appropriate taxes from your salary
bull In the case of a contract for work and labour you only owe your employer the supply of a
specified serviceresult (eg addressing of 1000 envelopes) in carrying out this job you are not
bound to fixed working hours andor a fixed place of work (this means that you can carry out
the work for example at your home) or even have it carried out by somebody else You are only
paid for the tasksfor the result you accomplish With a contract for work and labour you will ndash
being self-employed ndash not be insured with National Insurance by your employer nor will heshe
deduct taxes Of both these things you have to take care yourself
Please note Since it is often difficult to determine whether a work contract is an employment
contract (Dienstvertrag) or a contract for work and labour (Werkvertrag) this however being
crucial to whether you need a work permit or not please make sure to enquire at the Chamber
of Labour the employment office or an advice institution before taking up a job

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV

At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships

cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester

laws The most important point is that the company insures the student during the stay in the
company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your

Legally and technically the Finnish authorities commonly consider internships as employment
(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

university if shehe meets the qualifications as set by the company

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV

At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships

cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester

company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your

Legally and technically the Finnish authorities commonly consider internships as employment
(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution
For graduates A person can get an internship in Finland even after graduating from the home
university if shehe meets the qualifications as set by the company

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV

Company support FGV-EAESP counts on the support of CEMS corporate partners through its
subsidiaries in Brazil
For graduates Graduates who have no student status any more cannot do an internship in
Brazil

home pages called e-campus Students find them here httpse-campusdkjobs
At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships

cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester

laws The most important point is that the company insures the student during the stay in the
company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal

Legally and technically the Finnish authorities commonly consider internships as employment
(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV

Company support FGV-EAESP counts on the support of CEMS corporate partners through its
subsidiaries in Brazil
For graduates Graduates who have no student status any more cannot do an internship in
Brazil

(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV
20
Company support FGV-EAESP counts on the support of CEMS corporate partners through its
subsidiaries in Brazil
For graduates Graduates who have no student status any more cannot do an internship in
Brazil

home pages called e-campus Students find them here httpse-campusdkjobs
At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships

cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester
The CBS Career Centre offers every year a lot of company related events careers fairs etc
where the students always can ask for an internship

Legislation There are no problems for EU and OslashSS citizens concerning Danish employment
laws The most important point is that the company insures the student during the stay in the
company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal

Legally and technically the Finnish authorities commonly consider internships as employment
(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Legislation
For EU 17EFTA nationals working for less than 3 months per year the employer do not need to
apply for a work permit but need to notify the competent cantonal immigration authorities
before they start working For an internship with a duration of more than 3 months a work
permit needs to be applied for
For EU 8+2 and Non-EUEFTA nationals a work permit is needed for every work stay in
Switzerland irrespective of the duration
55
For mandatory internships being part of the study program EU 8+2 and Non-EUEFTA students
may obtain a work permit for the limited period of the internship with the confirmation of the
university that such is mandatory Alternatively they may obtain a work permit limited to the
semester break with the confirmation of the university that the job does not interfere with the
study program
Further information httpwwwswissemigrationchthemenschweizindexhtmllang=en
For the latest update please check our overview of work permit regulations in Switzerland on
wwwcscunisgch under ldquoServices for International Studentsrdquo
Requested documents The application process is usually initiated by the employer submitting
the necessary application documents to the competent authority in the canton of residence or
work of the applicant Depending on the canton this can be the Municipal Office the
Department for Migration or the Department for Commerce
The documents required for the application are determined by the competent authority and
usually include a copy of the employment contract (salary and working conditions have to be in
line with country and industry standards) a passport photograph a copy of the passport CV
and diplomas of the applicant confirmation of the university that internship is mandatory
Company support The interest of companies to offer international students an internship
varies from company to company and depends on their business model and internal guidelines
Another factor is whether they are prepared to take the extra effort to go through the work
permit application process
For graduates Internships after graduation are possible for EU 17EFTA nationals

BRAZIL - ESCOLA DE ADMINISTRACcedilAtildeO DE EMPRESAS DE SAtildeO PAULO-FGV
School support FGV-EAESP Placement Office helps students in finding an internship It also
provides individual orientation to incoming students including company contacts CVs etc It is
important to note that in Brazil internships are perceived as a first step to a full-time job For
instance an intern works 4 5 or 6 hours per day for a period of 6 up to 18 months
Contact Incoming students may contact FGV-EAESP Placement Office
Cecilia Noronha ndash Cecilianoronhafgvbr and Christiane Nagayassu ndash cecopfgvbr
Legislation (Published on 9 September 2012) Due to recent changes on the legislation of the
Brazilian Student Visa it is no longer allowed to attend an internship in Brazil with a common
Student Visa
From now on in order to attend an internship in Brazil students must obtain the Brazilian
Internship Visa (RN88 or RN94) The process of obtaining an Internship Visa requires that the
foreign student must supply an internship contract with a Brazilian company at the moment
when applying for the visa at a Brazilian consulate or embassy
In case students are not able to find an internship before coming to Brazil but they succeed on
finding an offer after arriving here they will have to travel back to their country of origin and
apply for the Internship Visa (Changing their Student Visa status to Internship Visa status)
Unfortunately the latter requirement implies that the foreign student has to cover additional
costs in order to have the legal right to study and attend an internship in Brazil
Documents required valid identification card or passport proof of a health insurance policy
covering all the necessary costs and confirmation of admission by the university
Once the student and company agree on the internship FGV-EAESP provides the necessary
documents plus the internship contract which has to be signed by the three parties student
FGV-EAESP and company representative
This contract is only valid during the time the student is regularly attending FGV
20
Company support FGV-EAESP counts on the support of CEMS corporate partners through its
subsidiaries in Brazil
For graduates Graduates who have no student status any more cannot do an internship in
Brazil

home pages called e-campus Students find them here httpse-campusdkjobs
At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships
except for the media industry instead companies employ students as part-time workers or
cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester
The CBS Career Centre offers every year a lot of company related events careers fairs etc
where the students always can ask for an internship
Contact Students are always welcome to contact the CBS Career Centre
httpse-campusdkcareer
Legislation There are no problems for EU and OslashSS citizens concerning Danish employment
laws The most important point is that the company insures the student during the stay in the
company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal
overall internship contract covering the Danish labour market

Legally and technically the Finnish authorities commonly consider internships as employment
(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

university if shehe meets the qualifications as set by the company

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and

profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships

cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester

costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal

(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position

profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

School support Vacant internships are mostly presented at a Job forum on the internal CBS
home pages called e-campus Students find them here httpse-campusdkjobs
At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships
except for the media industry instead companies employ students as part-time workers or
cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester
The CBS Career Centre offers every year a lot of company related events careers fairs etc
where the students always can ask for an internship
Contact Students are always welcome to contact the CBS Career Centre
httpse-campusdkcareer
Legislation There are no problems for EU and OslashSS citizens concerning Danish employment
laws The most important point is that the company insures the student during the stay in the
company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal
overall internship contract covering the Danish labour market
Further information There are no official sites dedicated to vacant internships in Denmark

Legally and technically the Finnish authorities commonly consider internships as employment
(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

university if shehe meets the qualifications as set by the company

Legislation The easiest way for the student to get an internship is to be registered at GSOM for
one semester which will provide himher a student visa and to get an internship with the help
of GSOM A student must keep in mind that in this case heshe will be provided with
accommodation in the GSOM dormitory but will not get any payment from the company for the
internship In this situation the students citizenship will not make any difference
Further information httpwwwgsompuruencareer
Required documents For GSOM to prepare the invitation for visa a student will have to send us
a copy of their passport It is practically always required that a student should have insurance
in order to get a visa All other documents may vary in different countries

documents may be requiredrequested by the company directly
Company support This highly depends on the company and can vary greatly from one situation
to another
For graduates In this case the school can help to find the company but due to Russian
legislation cannot be of much help in terms of visa Much will also depend on the company

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

DENMARK ndash COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL
School support Vacant internships are mostly presented at a Job forum on the internal CBS
home pages called e-campus Students find them here httpse-campusdkjobs
At CBS the Career Centre can help students in looking for an internship but it may be difficult
to place foreign students without Danish or Scandinavian language skills Another potential
problem is that there is really no tradition in the Danish business community for internships
except for the media industry instead companies employ students as part-time workers or
cooperate through study-based projects In the later years companies in the finance and
consulting industry offers summer internships or in the autumn semester
The CBS Career Centre offers every year a lot of company related events careers fairs etc
where the students always can ask for an internship
Contact Students are always welcome to contact the CBS Career Centre
httpse-campusdkcareer
Legislation There are no problems for EU and OslashSS citizens concerning Danish employment
laws The most important point is that the company insures the student during the stay in the
company Alternatively they may demand that the student himself or herself pay the insurance
costs It can as well be a problem to get them to fill out to many papers demanded by your
home university Fill them out yourself and they will normally sign them CBS has no formal
overall internship contract covering the Danish labour market

Legally and technically the Finnish authorities commonly consider internships as employment
(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and

profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

(therefore the web pages talk only about ldquoemploymentrdquo) If the student gets paid a working
contract is signed between the student and the company Some companies in Finland do take
non-paid interns but in that case the school company and student sign the contract The school
is then responsible for insuring the student and for other practical matters concerning the
work The student also gets study allowance (since the work is an obligatory part of the degree)
while doing the internship Aalto University does not sign such contracts
Company support In general terms companies consider CEMS internships like any other
ldquosummer employmentrdquo or ldquosummer traineeshipsrdquo They select the students who fit their
criteria and pay the salary according to their own practice Aalto University has previously
asked all CEMS partners about offering CEMS internship to students They refer to summer
trainee programmes as a solution

internship project The school obviously offers assistance to students who are
individually contacting NOVA although no guarantees can be given

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done

an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position

profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

several companies in Portugal the characteristics of which match the studentrsquos
internship project The school obviously offers assistance to students who are
individually contacting NOVA although no guarantees can be given
Contact CEMS Program Manager Elizabete Cardoso - ecardosonovasbept
Legislation Basically unlike other European countries there is no specific legislation relating
to salary benefits or duration for internships in companies in Portugal

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

apply for a work permit but need to notify the competent cantonal immigration authorities
before they start working For an internship with a duration of more than 3 months a work
permit needs to be applied for
For EU 8+2 and Non-EUEFTA nationals a work permit is needed for every work stay in
Switzerland irrespective of the duration
55
For mandatory internships being part of the study program EU 8+2 and Non-EUEFTA students
may obtain a work permit for the limited period of the internship with the confirmation of the
university that such is mandatory Alternatively they may obtain a work permit limited to the
semester break with the confirmation of the university that the job does not interfere with the
study program

For the latest update please check our overview of work permit regulations in Switzerland on
wwwcscunisgch under ldquoServices for International Studentsrdquo
Requested documents The application process is usually initiated by the employer submitting
the necessary application documents to the competent authority in the canton of residence or
work of the applicant Depending on the canton this can be the Municipal Office the
Department for Migration or the Department for Commerce

usually include a copy of the employment contract (salary and working conditions have to be in
line with country and industry standards) a passport photograph a copy of the passport CV
and diplomas of the applicant confirmation of the university that internship is mandatory
Company support The interest of companies to offer international students an internship
varies from company to company and depends on their business model and internal guidelines
Another factor is whether they are prepared to take the extra effort to go through the work
permit application process

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester

profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position

profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and

profiles and vice versa

agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done

insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement

Company support Companies who have a need for an international profile like the student
profiles of the CEMS students will usually post their internship offers in Spanish and English and
even in the other preferred language(s) for which they are looking for the internship position
In these cases the internship job description clearly expresses that they are interested in these
profiles and vice versa
For graduates An internship work contract in Spain almost always is done via a cooperation
agreement A cooperation agreement is a work contract for an internship which must be done
by a university for an ldquoactiverdquo student and registered in classes and possess the proper
insurance coverage by a university In this case incoming CEMS students are only recognised as
an ldquoactiverdquo CEMS student at ESADE during their official enrolment of their CEMS semester
abroad Cooperation agreements for incoming CEMS students at ESADE can be extended only
during the time when they are attending classes during their CEMS semester abroad Outside of
this period CEMS students must consult their home universities to see if this person still has a
student status in order to receive a cooperation agreement
