Information on internships at home and abroad at the Faculty of Business Administration

General information

The internship is an integral part of the bachelor's program (mandatory), which usually has to be completed in a company or in another institution of professional practice to the extent of full-time employment. This is done on the basis of an internship contract (and not an employment contract).

For Bachelor students, an information event on the internship usually takes place at the beginning of the summer semester. In preparation, you will be invited a few weeks in advance by the person responsible for the internship at the faculty to an OPAL course containing important information and forms.

Please send – unless otherwise agreed with your specialist mentoring teacher – within 14 days after the end of the internship

the internship certificate and the internship report to your specialist mentoring teacher and
the form “Internship procedure” – if applicable also the form “Internship abroad” – to the internship coordinator, Prof. Neuvians (please copy Ms. Otto)

If you have any questions about the internship, please contact Prof. Neuvians or Ms. Otto.
