Internships & Mentorship

Learning by doing, with a professional in your field beside you.

Planned model. NBU is designing a program in which every student is placed in a structured, mentored internship from the first year through completion. Internship partners and mentors are being recruited; none are announced yet, and this model is subject to partner agreements, program requirements and applicable law. NBU is not currently authorized to enroll students.
How it is designed to work
