For information on the excursions abroad, please contact the professor in charge in the faculties.

You should send your applications about four to six months before the planned start of the internship. It always depends a bit on the company and the country, for example how long it takes to get the visa. It is best to inform yourself early, we recommend one year in advance. Then you will have enough time to prepare a really convincing application.

Recommendation: Attend the application workshop "Successful CVs" (opens in a new window).
