> Industrial Internship

An industrial internship is part of the undergraduate electrical engineering programme (EEB) during the fifth semester. This is an opportunity for students to broaden and deepen their knowledge and skills through engineering activities. They will also be able to experience working conditions and methods in real life. We recommend German students to do their internship abroad. Students from other countries should do their internship in Germany.

Information Brochure

The information brochure in German language summarises all important information about the internship semester and should therefore be read carefully. It provides information on block courses, industrial Internships. All the necessary forms for registration and confirmation of the internship are included in the appendix of the document.
