Preparation & Support for an Internship

The International Office and the Career Service cooperate to offer individual counselling and information sessions on internships in Germany next to  seminars and workshops in order to prepare international and German students for their internships as best as possible. 

The modules in preperation for internships range from how to find an internship and how to put together the application to preparing for the interview. Thus, international students get to know the formalities of the application process in Germany but also become aware of  country-specific differences and expectations influencing an internship and how to approach them. Accordingly, the internship preparation modules not only make it easier to find an internship but also help getting by during this internship.

Additionally, international students looking for an internship have download access to a wide range of information material.
