Internships at the International Business Unit at Aalto University School of Business

What would I do during the internship?

You would be working with the faculty on academic research projects, teaching related tasks and assignments about societal impact. Potential tasks include data collection and analysis, conducting literature reviews, statistical analyses, research interviews, and any other research tasks. The topics you may work on are varied and broad, such as headquarters (re)locations, diversity, sustainability, human resources, and international entrepreneurship.

We have a need for several interns. Some internships may already start in the spring and continue throughout the summer and others may start in the summer and continue throughout the academic year. There is a possibility to work full-time or part-time, with flexibility based on mutual preferences.

What’s in it for me?

As a member of our community, you will have the opportunity to widen your perspectives on various international business topics as well as familiarize yourself with an academic career and learn research skills on the job. These skills will not only be helpful in your Master’s thesis but are also in demand in many professions outside of academia. If you decide to pursue an academic career, you will benefit greatly from an early integration into the research community. And of course, you will get flexible working hours and a salary (regular internship pay). While the work is mostly independent, there is also teamwork in projects and you will be a member of a great team, including other interns.

What is required?

We are looking for active BSc and MSc students at Aalto University. First and foremost, we want dedicated people who fit well into our community and who have a genuine interest in international business and research. A good command of written English is a requirement, skills in Finnish or other languages are beneficial. Knowledge and interest in statistics are a plus. The ability to confidently set up and conduct interviews with senior managers in an engaging manner is also a plus. 

How can I apply?

Include in your application a personal motivation letter, CV, and a transcript of your university grades. If you have a bachelor’s thesis or some other suitable writing sample, please submit that as well. Submitting a writing sample is not required. The application deadline is 28 February, 2023.
