GOOD TO KNOW

COMMON QUESTIONS

BUV supports students in securing internships through its partner network, job postings, and application and interview coaching. However, the university does not directly cover food or accommodation costs for interns. That said, many partner companies may provide allowances, meals, uniforms, or other material support, depending on their own policies. The level of support depends entirely on the host company, as BUV does not set a fixed policy in this area. Some internships offer no allowance at all, but still provide significant value in terms of experience, skills, and networking.

BUV currently uses personality assessments for career-orientation purposes. The most commonly used is the Holland Test — a career assessment based on the theory of psychologist John L. Holland — designed to help students discover their career interests and identify a suitable working environment.

The university has a dedicated careers office that supports students from their first year onwards, not only in their final year. This office also partners with more than 500 companies to source internship placements for students, and provides support with CV writing, mock interviews, and career guidance.

Helping students choose the right career path requires a combination of factors: guidance from family, personal interests and motivation, the student's abilities and strengths, and accurate information about career options. Career guidance is therefore a process that requires close collaboration between the university, the family, and the student.

At BUV, the Admissions team supports students through career-orientation assessments designed to help them understand themselves and identify a suitable field of study. Based on the results, the university provides detailed career information to support families throughout the guidance process.
