Student internships

Dear Students,

We kindly inform you that — as before, in the summer semester of the 2025/2026 academic year — the Dean's Plenipotentiaries for student professional internships continue to handle referrals and the crediting of internships online.

Although in-person office hours are not held and personal meetings with the Plenipotentiaries are not possible, we remain available at the official Faculty email addresses:

Information and answers to questions are also provided by the Internship Committee of the Student Government — facebook.com/KomisjaPraktyk and by e-mail: komisjapraktyk@gmail.com.

We recommend the remote form of internships and the online circulation of documents. Please remember that — pursuant to the resolutions in force at the Faculty — every internship (including those carried out remotely) must be registered in the internship system at least 14 days in advance at: praktyki.wpia.uw.edu.pl.

Crediting online

Rules for crediting internships

  • The student who is completing the internship sends one of the Plenipotentiaries a scan/photo of the full documentation or an e-mail confirmation issued by a person authorised to represent the institution, certifying that the internship has been completed in the required number of hours.
  • The message contains the student's details: first name and surname, field and year of study, student ID number, the place of internship together with its dates and number of hours, and the student's telephone number.
  • Messages concerning the crediting of internships are to be sent exclusively to one of the Plenipotentiaries' official mailboxes.
  • After a positive verification of the student's documents, the Plenipotentiaries notify the Dean's Office of WPiA UW remotely about the crediting of the internship.

Organisation

General information about internships

In the case of internships organised by the Faculty, all formalities related to admission to an internship — and in particular the generation and transmission of the referral to the host institution (court, prosecutor's office) — are handled by the Faculty. The exception is internships at the District Court Warsaw-Praga and at courts within its territorial jurisdiction.

District Court in Warsaw and regional courts within its territorial jurisdiction

Before starting the internship, students are required to complete training in occupational health and safety and personal data protection. The training is held on the first day of the internship.

District Court Warsaw-Praga and regional courts within its territorial jurisdiction

Occupational health and safety training is conducted during the internship. Pursuant to the internal order of the President and Director of the Court, a student starting an internship is required to submit an internship application (template available on the Court's website), as well as a CV and a cover letter. These requirements are independent of WPiA.

Provincial Administrative Court in Warsaw

Occupational health and safety training takes place at the seat of the court (Warsaw, ul. Jasna 2/4) on the first day of the internship at 8:00 a.m. Meeting point: the lobby by the cloakroom.

Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw

Before starting the internship, the student is required to contact the Prosecutor's Office (Organisational Department, tel. +48 22 217-32-39) to arrange the date of occupational health and safety training.

Regional Prosecutor's Office Warsaw-Praga

Students report for the internship at the seat of the Prosecutor's Office. Occupational health and safety training is not provided.
