Internship timing during a Master's program varies by university and course.

- UK: Many universities offer internships as part of the curriculum or as optional summer placements, usually after the first or second semester. Some programs have structured internships during summer (June - August) or as part-time roles during the academic year (up to 20 hours/week, subject to current regulations).
- Germany: Internships can be integrated into the curriculum or available as external opportunities, often in the later semesters. These may last 2 - 6 months, depending on the program and employer.

Duration and timing depend on your specific course and university. For detailed options, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
