Internship & Career Development Center (ICDC)

Introduction

The University of Dubai (UD) considers internship as one of the most important channels that brings together the college, the students, and the job market. Moreover, internship is the most valuable means to integrate the academic theoretical environment to real life practice through applied project work.

The purpose is to provide students with practical experience in an organizational setting where learning and doing are the chief objectives.  It is an essential part of the Bachelor’s degree program and it will help students improve, evaluate and above all practice the skills and theories that they have been exposed during their studies.

At UD, the students sign up for one of the three following forms of internship:

1. Regular Internship for non working students
2. Industry-based-project for working students (with minimum two 2 years experience)
3. Internship Exchange (International)
