You must submit several documents to the Faculty of Business and Economics Dean's Office or Student Advisory Office in digital form (PDF) by e-mail both before and after the internship:

1. Before the internship:



An application to have the internship recognized (Download) is due approximately six weeks before the internship begins. It must be submitted to the Faculty of Business and Economics Student Advisory Office along with the host institution's internship programme, which should outline the content of the internship as well as a rough timeline.



2. After the internship:



After completing the internship, submit the approved application form (from above) with an internship report or review of your work from your host institution. Your contact person in the host institution has to sign the report before you hand it in. The specific details and requirements are stipulated in the document "Rules for the completion of the course M.WIWI-WB.1000 (internship)".

Please read the requirements carefully. If all the conditions are met, you will be able to receive six credits for the course "M.WIWI-WB.1000 Praktikum", which does not include a grade.
