Hey there,
After completing a Bachelor of Science in "computer and media security" in September 2008, I am doing now my Master of Science in "secure information systems" with focus on digital forensics and law.
To gain a higher qualification and practical experience in my field of study and to further improve my English skills, I am planing to do an internship. My requirements are as follows
- located in an English speaking country
- lasting for about 8 to 10 months
- starting about July/August/September 09
- ideally the possibility to write my master thesis during the internship
Thanks to economic crisis it's quite hard to find an internship position nowadays 😉 Therefore I would like to ask you for some hints where and how to apply for an internship in digital forensics.
My first guess was to apply at the "Big-Four" (KPMG, E&Y, Deloitte, PwhC) in different English speaking countries (USA, Canada, Australia, Ireland, UK, New Zealand). The big problem is to find the right contact in these companies. Internships in this area are rarely advertised but an unsolicited application is often unpopular.
So what should I do now? Any help is welcome! Thank you so much in advance.
Best regards,
Nadja
