Hi Anonymous,

it depends on the country, in Italy for example it is possible. I would recommend to contact HR in your local office, they should be able to let you know if that is indeed feasible.

Best,

As was already asked (and addressed) twice in the last couple of days... answer is no. Besides - if you have finished your studies, why would you want to do an internship when you could get a full time job?

Because getting an internship is easier than a fulltime position.

I can't update my answer now that Francesco gave a counter example, so creating a new one: I stand correct, it apparently IS possible :)

Along the same line of thoughts: You can technically do a long internship in France after you finished school but before you graduate; you'd still have to do your dissertation after though. I actually did this myself: did my last semester of school in Germany as part of my French studies, then looked for an internship in Germany (also as part of my French studies); the difference is that I ended up taking a full time job, and did my final dissertation to get a degree that was supposed to allow me to find the job I already had. Confused yet? ha!
