Dear colleague and partner

Greetings from the Business Department at VIVES University of Applied Sciences in Kortrijk, Belgium!

Each semester we generally have an exchange student as an intern at our Global Engagement Office. Although the next academic year is still a while away, we want to send out a first call to possible internship candidates. During this internship, the student will work in close contact with the colleagues at the office as well as all incoming students of the Business Department at our campus in Kortrijk. Additionally the intern will also play a large part in welcoming and supporting incoming guest lecturers in our VIVES Business Academy. The student will be involved in all aspects of the G.E.O. as well as the daily running of our exchange program. Moreover, the student will be extremely involved in organizing our International Staff Week (November).

Since we are open to welcome any type of student, we wanted to reach out to you and ask whether you could spread our informative flyer (attached) to your students who could be eligible for this internship opportunity.

Please keep in mind that we prefer students with a business background or students with an interest in business but will also consider students which a different, non-business background. If necessary, students can add this internship to learning agreement for an number of credits (we can offer anything between 20-30 ECTS), and can combine this with courses from our VIVES Business Academy program.

We are only able to accept one intern per semester so it’s important to note that not all students who apply will be accepted or considered for the position. Should they be interested, please refer them to Stéphanie Bovie, stephanie.bovie@vives.be and ask them to immediately send their CV and motivation letter in English as is stated in our flyer.
