The Internship Program features directed work-study experiences related to the academic or vocational interests of the student. The program is coordinated by a member of the International School faculty along with on-site supervisors who hold academic or professional credentials.   Only students who are enrolled as full-time students in the International School are eligible for the Internship Program, and students must have already completed at least one year of university study.

Students who are interested in an internship must apply before the semester begins.  In addition to their application for admission, they will need to complete a supplemental application for the internship program.  Upon admission to the International School and receipt of the internship program application, the Internship Coordinator will be in touch with the student about possible internship locations. 

When the student arrives to Haifa, she or he will meet with the supervisor at the internship location.  Together they will establish the student's schedule.  Students are expected to work 15 hours per week at their internship.  Throughout the semester they may be provided by their supervisor with reading materials to support their work.  In addition, students will need to complete weekly internship reports to be submitted to the Internship Coordinator in the International School.  At the end of the semester, students will write a large paper addressing an issue they dealt with at their internship.  The internship is worth four academic credits.

Internships are mostly focused in the areas of social services, health services, and education.  Please see below for a list of potential internships.  If you are interested in a field not listed below, please be in touch with our Internship Coordinator about other possibilities.

Students in the International School may enroll in one Internship, Fieldwork course or Directed Reading/Reseach per semester.
