Time & Duration
The particular degree programme which the student is following will determine when an internship semester can be taken (between semester 3 and 6) and its duration (16 to 22 weeks). Full details for the individual degree programme will be found in the internship documents of the programmes or in the relevant study and examination regulations.
Admission
The admission requirements for serving an internship semester can be found in the relevant study and examination regulations.
Theory Courses
Students should attend the accompanying theory courses either before, or immediately after completing their internship or in the subsequent semester. Full details for the individual degree programme will be found in the internship documents of the programmes or in the relevant study and examination regulations.
Host Organisation
The company (or research laboratory of a host university) in which an internship semester is to be spent must first be approved by OTH Regensburg and registered with the Examinations and Internships Office.
Host organisations which have already been approved can be found in the Student-Service Portal (SSP). The consent of the responsible Internship Coordinator must be obtained well in advance for host organisations which have not yet been approved. Any special procedure that is required for obtaining approval will be described in the internship documents of the programmes or the specific faculty information.
Contract
The training contract must be completed by the contract parties and submitted to the Examinations and Internships Office by the specified deadline. You can find an English version of the internship contract (Ausbildungsvertrag Praktisches Studiensemester ENG) in the Dokumentenportal für Studierende in the section Studium und Lehre.
During the Internship
While you are abroad working as an intern, we suggest that you regularly monitor information published by the faculties or OTH Regensburg, so you don’t miss important dates such as re-enrolment, choosing the major field of studies, deadlines for handing in internship reports etc.
At the end of the Internship
On completion of the internship abroad, an internship report and internship certificate from the host organisation must be submitted to the Examinations and Internships Officeby the specified deadline. Further information will be found in the internship documents of the programmes or the specific faculty information.
