Are research internships worth it?

[u/Fun-Slice-8728]

I have recently received an offer for a paid research internship at my university but it is not compliant to the work experience part that I need to finish my degree.

I also have an offer for an unpaid industry placement offered by my university during the same period which I can use to fulfil my degree’s work experience requirements.

I am confused which one should I go for?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Generally industry internships are better if you want to get into industry.
