INTERNING ABROAD

In the seventh semester, all students are required to do an internship abroad. The internship is worth 18 credit points, and it needs to be conducted in one piece and in one enterprise. It is each student's individual responsibility to find an internship place for themselves. RheinMain University of Applied Sciences provides and introductory workshop to support students in finding an internship place.

• getting to know typical engineering, organizational and societal contexts
