The kinds of assignments given during the Programme vary greatly in terms of content. However, interns are normally involved in some other assignment depending on the supervisor. The attempt is to match the intern with the needs of the organization and the University.Internship assignments vary in length, between two and three months, depending on the availability and academic requirements of the intern, as well as the needs of LGFC.
Assignments are available on a full-time basis throughout the year in a breakdown of three months (January-March entry and June-August entry).LGFC does not pay for internships. The costs associated with internship must be borne by the nominating institution; or by the student, who will have to obtain financing for subsistence and make his/her own arrangements for travel, accommodation, among others.
