👉 A firstship is a period in a student's career where they begin their academic journey at a university or college. This can typically occur after a student has completed high school and before they start their undergraduate studies in a degree-granting institution. During this time, students are usually required to complete specific coursework, such as taking classes that align with their major and pursuing extra-curricular activities. Firstships often involve the opportunity for students to gain experience through internships, research projects, or volunteer work
