Internships

Internships are often compulsory in the individual degree programmes, but can also be a voluntary and very useful supplement to academic studies. The objective of internships abroad is not simply the acquisition of specialist knowledge. Great emphasis is also placed on the development of key social skills, intercultural skills and, of course, foreign language skills.
