The Department of  Statistics and Actuarial -Financial Mathematics esteemshighly the “job experience” programme (student internships) as the benefits for the trainee students are multiple. The "Internship of Higher Education of the University of the Aegean" is implemented within the Operational Program "Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation" and is co-financed by the European Union (European Social Fund) and National Resources.

 Indicatively, amongst others, students who participate in the “job experience” programme can:

• apply their theoretical background in an actual work environment;
• develop or strengthen their practical skills;
• acquire acquaintance with the working environment and its demands, the working ethics rules and behaviour;
• exploit the knowledge they have acquired during their internship in the elaboration of their dissertation;
• use this period as “work experience” in their CV;
• potentially, they could have a job offer from the host-company in the future.

Practical Fieldwork has duration of eight weeks and it takes place during the summer months (July and August). The activities of the host companies are very similar to the fields of specialization that a student can major in according to the educational programme of the department.

After their internships, students have to write and present a report to a committee consisting of their supervisors. The assessment of each student is based on that report as well as on the “assessment report” completed by an executive of the host-company.

For the time being, the Department co-operates with many companies in the fields of statistics, finance, and actuarial science. Some of these companies are listed below:
