Characteristics by Offer Type

Offer Type	Advantages	Disadvantages
Exchange Internship	There is no other applicants (competitors). If you meet the required skills, you have a very good chance of being accepted. If you are not accepted or the offer itself is cancelled for some reason, you can look for an offer of your choice through Global Internship.	You cannot choose the country where you will be sent. Since you cannot choose the content of the internship, it may not meet your expectations. If there is no offer in your first choice region that matches your desired field and desired duration, you will be offered your second or third choice region. Basically, you cannot refuse the first offer you are assigned (unless the country is in a travel hazard).
Global Internship	You can choose an offer yourself by looking at the country, internship content, duration, etc. described on the offers. You can apply to multiple offers simultaneously. There are offers of companies that do not appear in the Exchange Internship. If no students matching the criteria are found, the offer are repeatedly listed in the system. There are many offers in computer science. Remote internships are also published.	Some offers may have multiple competitors as applicants come from different member countries. The number of open offers varies depending on the time of year. The `April to June` period has the largest number of open offers, while the `summer vacation period` has fewer open offers. Most offers have a `two week` to `one month` deadline for applications after the offer is published. Fewer offers are available for applicants who have completed two undergraduate years.
