Internships

The internship in Module D is mandatory and consists of 12 ECTS. It can be completed either locally or abroad. There are two options: a part-time or a full-time work placement. In case of a part-time employment, students can substitute the missing ECTS with workshops from the Viadrina Founders Center (Gründungszentrum) with 1 ECTS equating to 1 workshop (16 hours).
Students should make arrangements for internships on their own. The practical experience should correspond to the study program and refer to digital society. The Viadrina Career Center can also assist in the internship offers.

Upon submission of the completed application form (see below), the ENS Examination Board handles the acknowledgment of internships or work placements. In order to get their internship recognized, students must provide a confirmation certificate from their employer specifying their weekly workload, the internship period and the tasks completed.

More detailed information can be found in Attachment 3 of the Study and Examination Regulations applicable to you (2020 version or 2023 version).
