The internship is done during the fourth semester of studies in an institution or a company which employs translators. The content of the practice depends on the policy of the company where the internship is done, as well as on the type of translation the company needs, and it is stated in an Internship Agreement (IA) between the Faculty of Philosophy and the employer. The IA contains specifications of the type of assignments that a student is to perform, and it is designed by the teacher and the student and accepted by the employer.
