Research internships "Wahlpflichtgruppe 2"
Research internships are only considered for the Bachelor's students.
The students work on a defined research project under an individual supervision of an advanced researcher. After the project is finished the students write their project report. It is an opportunity to gather insight into current theoretical and practical research.
In the advanced studies curriculum of the Bachelor's degree course, students must attend block courses for a total of 42 ECTS. Of these, a maximum of 12 ECTS may be replaced by one or two research internships (Forschungspraktika). Research internships are considered internal when they are supervised by a research group leader associated with the Faculty of Science (MNF), who is also supervising PhD students or Master’s projects of the MNF, and external otherwise.
Paid activities such as an assistant job or a practical course temporary employment will not be accredited with credit points.
Internal research internships
Students should arrange internal research internships directly with a research group leader. Research internships cannot be booked. Once a student has completed their internship, the student's supervisor for the internship will notify the academic support office in writing of the grade achieved and the number of credits (4-12 ETCS - one credit each fulltime week - duration of an internal research internship 4-12 weeks) to be awarded. In case of a research internship in Biomedicine the duration is 6-12 weeks and the number of credits are correspondingly 6-12 ETCS.
External research internships
Research internships supervised by people outside the MNF must be approved in advance by both the person in charge of the module, and by the academic support office (studienkoordination@biol.uzh.ch). A maximum of 6 ECTS will be accredited. Further important information can be found on the information sheet.
