Pre-study Internship

All graduates from specialised secondary schools who want to change their specialisation when taking up studies as well as all applicants without any subject-specific training have to complete a six-week internship relevant to their degree programme before the start of studies (pre-study internship).

Below you will find all degree programmes where a pre-study internship is necessary, its duration as well as further information about it.

If you cannot complete the pre-study internship before the start of your studies, missing weeks can be made up for by the end of your 2nd semester.

Information about the pre-study internship is also available as PDF download (German only; non-accessible).
