The "Student Internship Program of the University of Peloponnese" is currently in its third phase of implementation at the Department of Philology. It is carried out within the framework of the Operational Program Education and Lifelong Learning (E.P.E.D.V.M.) and is co-financed by the European Union (European Social Fund) and national resources. The program significantly contributes to the effort to connect the University with the labour market.

The Department of Philology aims to achieve the following objectives through the implementation of the Internship:

• Familiarize students with the labour market (including understanding employer expectations, managing labour relations, developing professional ethics and responsibility, and encouraging initiative).
• Provide students with work experience related to their field of study.
• Bridge academic studies with professional employment, while exploring interdisciplinary approaches in the workplace.
• Showcase and develop the skills of student interns.
• Promote professional networking and enhance students’ connection to the labour market.

The Internship is offered in the third year of studies at the Department of Philology as an elective course, in collaboration with both private (at least 55%) and public sector employment agencies.
