Summer programs allow students to participate in designed and structured courses during the summer semester in an unlimited number of institutions (not limited to partner universities). Most summer programs are not part of the academic calendar, and therefore are not included under the exchange agreements.
Application to summer programs is scheduled by the host institution and is not via the exchange programs. However, the Student Exchange Coordinator would be happy to assist you in the application process and contacts with the host institutions. Tuition of summer programs varies across institutions, and can be quite costly. For this reason, we have provided below a list of subsidized summer programs, or programs that offer some financial aid. If you find other programs that interest you we would be happy to hear about them and assist you in the application process.
Summer internships:
Technion Japan would like invite the application for intern at Horiba Co., Ltd., headquarter in Kyoto, Japan （https://www.horiba.com/en_en/） on the following conditions.
- Internship must be for two consecutive months in the summer of 2018 for the period that an applicant chooses.
2. Horiba will pay a daily stipend in the amount of JPY 6,500 to an intern and commuting expense to and from Horiba from an intern’s apartment in Kyoto according to Horiba Rules.
- Intern must attend Horiba’s work place every day, without holiday leave of personal purpose, from Monday to Friday every week for two months. Intern must provide a Japanese medical doctor’s certificate by a Japanese medical doctor who is having clinic near Horiba if he or she wants to take a sick leave during internship.
- Intern must travel from Israel to Kyoto on the cheapest economy flight.
- On the successful completion of internship, Technion Japan will provide round trip airfare from Israel to Kyoto, i.e., the cheapest economy flight fare available in the summer of 2018 and Technion Japan will give a financial aid of JPY100,000.
- One half of airfare and one half of JPY100,000 may be released to an intern at the end of the fourth week of the internship if such intern completes first four weeks successfully and is deemed to do so for the rest of internship.
The definition of “successful completion” is diligent attendance to Horiba’s work place without delay and without personal holiday leave except sick leave as mentioned above.
