Summer internship
Posted by - nfr007 - on 11 February 2013 - 3:18am
I am currently doing my engineering from India and want to pursue masters in management .I will graduate in 2014.So far, I have not done any internship but this year I have got an opportunity to work at a company in Russia for a period of 6 weeks in summer. This would be a social and management internship which I am getting through AIESEC (An international student organization). So will this internship would any how help me with the admission process?
Regards,

Hi there,
for a master in management (MIM) you don't need work experience. Hence, formally, this 6 weeks summer internship might have no effect on your admissions process.
On the other hand, it is always good to gain experience and I recommend you to do so. You learn something in this internship and you can build a network. And at the end of the day, maybe someone at a school's admissions office, will perceive this internship as an expression of your commitment and interest and, hence, prefer you over someone with the same grades but without the internship.
Best wishes
Thomas
