<p>I am an engineering undergrad student. At my school we have an option of taking a year off school for internship work (the graduation will therefore be delayed by one year).
I have heard a lot about the value of internship experience in job hunting after graduation of Bachelor degree.
However, if I am planning on pursuing Master, would my internship experience be anything useful? (would it be useful in applying master, or job hunting after master degree?)</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>At least one benefit is possibly having your boss/mentor or whatever at the internship become a good reference for you when you apply for grad school. I also imagine having that experience as a whole will look great anyways since you have applied some things you have learned in school. In the end, it could never hurt if you don’t have research to do instead!</p>
<p>Yes, but would the experience give me other advantages other than a good reference? because I can get reference from other school profs too.
And my graduation would be held back by one year if i decide to do the internship option…</p>
<p>Would undergrad internship experience be valuable in job hunting if i acquire a master degree? or would it be irrelevant because the internship is “undergrad-level”?</p>
