Computer Science & Information Technology | Intern Abroad HQ

I enjoyed the entire experience as I learned a lot about cybersecurity, mainly in encryption and the use of drones, which was really exciting. The culmination of new knowledge and hands on experience in programming DES, ciphers and drones has significantly aided in my professional development as I now have a whole new knowledge base in this field. Personally, this internship also helped me understand how these algorithms can be adapted to cater to international interests and a range of languages.

What I enjoyed most about this internship was working on real projects that will continue to be used by the department. It was very rewarding to know that my work has a practical purpose and can benefit both students and professors. I also really enjoyed meeting local students, professors, and other international participants, which allowed me to experience Greek culture beyond the workplace. The internship contributed to my professional development by improving my technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and confidence in working independently. On a personal level, it helped me become more adaptable, open-minded, and comfortable working in an international environment. Overall, it confirmed that software development is the career path I want to pursue.

This internship gave me real world experience professionally as well as the chance to learn how to thrive in an unfamiliar environment. I enjoyed exploring Greece the most and learning about the culture through the people I met.
