It depends. The average duration of the internship and Co-op provided at Alpin is three, six and twelve months, however we are also comfortable with more creative co-op options. At Alpin, we offer internship opportunities throughout the year, during the academic year as well as during the summer.
Shorter period of internship aren’t typically granted due to the fact that it does not allow the intern to immerse themselves into their projects and to receive an all-round experience within such a short duration.
