Internship

As part of the Bachelor's major in Sociology an internship and an internship colloquium (module B6/So-B6) are compulsory. The internship is intended to prepare students for a career as a sociologist. The colloquium then serves to reflect on the internship. Numerous personal counselling offers and information portals are available to help you with all aspects of the internship, from the search for a suitable placement to the recognition of the internship.
