Master’s Internship Programme

In the third semester, students of the Master’s Programme in Guidance and Counselling undertake a structured internship designed to strengthen professional competence through real-world engagement. This internship bridges advanced coursework and independent thesis research by immersing students in authentic counselling and educational contexts.

Students may choose one of two internship pathways based on their professional interests and career orientation.

Clinical Counselling Internship

Independent Study Course in Clinical Counselling

This internship provides professional experience in delivering clinical counselling services outside the school setting, primarily at the Technical Implementation Unit for Guidance and Counselling at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta. Students work with real cases under the supervision of lecturers and professional supervisors.

The internship emphasises assessment, counselling processes, case documentation, and ethical decision-making grounded in humanistic values and contextual sensitivity.

Assessment is based on practice reports, case reflection journals, supervision notes, and practice result seminars.
