Mandatory Internship

Many programs of study provide for a mandatory internship, which you must complete during your studies. A mandatory internship thus always needs to be included in your personal degree planning. Depending on its duration, the mandatory internship can be completed during the semester break or during an academic leave of absence. Since most companies only offer internships of three months or more, longer internships are also recognized as mandatory internships. And of course, the longer the internship lasts, the more experience you will gain. In addition to the mandatory internship, you should also plan further internships or, for example, a working student position in order to gather additional practical experience during your studies.
