Internships
at Sharklab

I had an absolute blast and cannot wait to come back for my thesis. I don’t think I have ever learned so much in 2 months, and not just marine biology related skills. Could not have asked for better supervisors. It is an incredible learning opportunity. Andrej and Emina go above and beyond to ensure the interns are included in their day to day work…

It has been an enriching experience that has helped me to grow professionally, to better understand the world of work. I have had the opportunity to acquire knowledge that I would not have learned otherwise and to develop my previously unknown skills in the laboratory. Thank you for making Sharklab feel like home!
