Go to the Specialisation Area
In the free elective area, you have two different options for completing an ungraded internship: an internship lasting at least five weeks (6 ECTS) or one lasting at least 12 weeks (18 ECTS). The internship must be completed as a single, uninterrupted period on a full-time basis. However, there is one exception: 4 weeks of the internship can be credited toward a part-time student job. The Internship Office is your point of contact for handling the internship. There, you’ll also find helpful tips for finding an internship position.
As part of your degree program, you can spend time studying abroad. The University of Hohenheim maintains partnerships with other universities both within Europe - through the ERASMUS program - and overseas. You have the opportunity to have coursework you complete abroad recognized toward the modules in your degree program.
