The Vesalius Internship Programme (VIP)

The VIP, a successful programme run by Vesalius College, aims to benefit students and organizations with an experience of mutual enrichment. VIP partners provide interns with a professional experience that goes beyond the mere scope of a traditional internship. Vesalius College students are a select group of young, dynamic, and highly educated individuals with a broad international background, and as such constitute ideal interns for the real-life projects offered by the affiliated host organizations.

In the course of an internship, students tackle a single project from inception to completion, or work in the context of a bigger organizational project to which they contribute a substantial part by the end of the semester. Whether having full responsibility of a project, or working as a member of a team in a bigger enterprise, students exercise their skills and provide the host organization with a high-quality output.

Student Testimonials

 

"My experience has been a positive one. I have met great people, and I had the chance to attend a workshop on education called “Child Friendly Schools” programme. During this event, I got the opportunity to meet members of UNESCO, and many other important people who are working to help children in developing countries.
I am working on a project that I will present at the end of session here. It is about Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries, and their trade and development partnership with the European Commission. It is going well, and I am learning a lot. I will recommend potential students to apply to this programme, as they will discover learning in another form and environment."

"When I first walked into the External Relations office and picked up a copy of the Vesalius Internship Programme  catalogue, I was quite amazed at how many different internship opportunities were available. Having done two internships before elsewhere, which were very limited in what they demanded of me, it was ideal for me to work on a project that was unique and gave me the freedom to provide my personal insights and solutions. I was fortunate enough to be selected by MasterCard and a month into my project, I could not be happier with the progress. My task is to deliver a comprehensive report and presentation with insight on behaviour profiles of defined consumer segmentation. I am basically interpreting detailed reports and data on the different consumer segments in order to provide payments solutions that best meets their profiles. Ideally when I finish an internship, I like to think what I did for the company really helped them and the information I provded was used in their business activities and I believe that I have accomplished that with my project at MasterCard."

"It was beneficial to match my courses with an internship in the capital of Europe and witness what I was studying for first hand."
