Internship abroad

In addition to a semester of study abroad, an internship abroad offers a further opportunity to gain important experience abroad. This is not only good for your CV, but also enriches your professional and personal life. In addition, you will have the opportunity to make valuable contacts abroad and – usually incidentally – learn and train a foreign language.

An internship abroad usually requires far more preparation and organisation than an internship in Germany, so inform yourself at an early stage.
