Internships and job

Section administrated by the Dean's Representative for Student Apprenticeship.

I. General information
  • Apprenticeship should be completed during engineering studies (professional practice) and during master's studies (diploma practice).
  • The supervisor of the professional practice is the Dean's Representative for Student Apprenticeship, while the supervisor of the diploma practice is the Deputy Director for Didactics of the relevant Institute.
  • Guidelines for completing the diploma practice can be obtained from the Deputy Director for Teaching Affairs of the relevant Institute
  • Completion of professional practice is the duty of each student, and each student is obliged to organize their own practice.
  • Student apprenticeship, in accordance with the guidelines of the Rector of the Warsaw University of Technology (https://bip.pw.edu.pl/var/pw/storage/original/application/f57997a180ac669ddb092ddec742b4fe.pdf), takes place in a company whose activity is thematically related to Mechanical Engineering.
  • The internship lasts 28 days (20 working days free from teaching) and is extended by each day if there are holidays or other days off during the apprenticeship period.
  • The best time for apprenticeship is the holiday period from July 1 to August 31, because the days of the Student's apprenticeship must be free from teaching activities in the Student's schedule.
  • A properly completed apprenticeship report must be submitted by the end of the autumn session, as failure to comply with this obligation results in failure to complete the "Student Apprenticeship" course in due time and conditional registration.

2) submitting in person an application for signature by the Dean's Representative for Student Internships to Ms. Monika Ambroziak (room 0.5) on the form available on the SiMR website. The application must be accompanied by proof (e.g. a printout of the transfer of the personal accident insurance premium to PW) of having personal accident insurance (NNW insurance).

2) WUT Career Office: https://www.bk.pw.edu.pl/

3) 28-day apprenticeship at the MZA Company (Miejskie Zakłady Autobusowe Sp. z o.o.), which prepares an individual contract with the Faculty of Automotive and Construction Machinery Engineering (a different procedure than described in point II.). After the apprenticeship, a report on the apprenticeship together with a report supplement should be submitted in person, or by registered mail, to Ms. Monika Ambroziak (room 0.5):. 

4) Completion of the apprenticeship on the basis of a minimum 3-month employment/internship (proceedings other than those described in point II.). The documents should be submitted in person or by registered letter to Ms. Monika Ambroziak (room 0.5):

5) Passing the apprenticeship on the basis of running a business related to Mechanical Engineering (a different procedure than described in point II.)

IV. Cooperation with the "Industry" regarding apprenticeship

1) Apprenticeship is a form of learning, not professional work, so companies bear the cost of organizing learning for students. Companies are ready to invest in apprentices because they are interested in employing ambitious, talented and hard-working apprentices on a full-time basis.

2) Applications and CVs for apprenticeship to a given company should be submitted in accordance with the company's procedures.

3) In March/April, a meeting of students of the Faculty of Automotive and Construction Machinery Engineering with industry representatives interested in providing internships takes place on the MS Teams platform.

4) In November, Job Fairs are held at the Faculty of Automotive and Construction Machinery Engineering:
