Internships abroad
In addition to studying abroad, there is also the option of completing internships and final theses abroad. Are you still unsure whether studying or doing an internship would be more suitable for you? The DAAD provides a brief overview of the options:
Internships are financially supported by scholarships, e.g. as part of Erasmus+ or PROMOS. You can also apply to the Martin-Schmeißer Foundation for final theses.
How to find an internship?
The International Office will support you in your search for an internship and has set up a Moodle page where you can find current vacancies and lists of institutions where physics students have already completed internships in the past. In addition, they provide a list of different internship programmes (e.g. IAESTE, ISEP, RISE, DAAD). It is also often worth talking to the working groups in the Department of Physics to establish suitable contacts with foreign universities.
Please note that the application deadlines are often well in advance, so start gathering information as early as possible.
