Internship Programs

Students with sufficient German proficiency have the opportunity to complete an internship during the semester break in February or, in some cases, during the spring term (March-June). Internships give you the opportunity to gain experience in the German-language job market, which can improve your career prospects. Our internships also count as a course. You can receive up to 3 credit hours upon completion of the internship, depending upon the number of hours worked.
