Internship Abroad
By doing an internship abroad, you can gather subject-related practical experience while complementing your CV with a valuable bonus point. The intercultural competencies and advanced foreign language skills gained during your internship abroad will make your profile more attractive for future employers.
Financing Options
Students on internships are rarely able to live off the money they are being paid; most internships abroad are not paid at all. Scholarships can provide some of the money you will require for the period of your internship.
“My deep curiosity about foreign culture, my craving for new interpersonal experiences and the desire to improve my English skills and gain practical experience first-hand motivated me to take the chance and study in a foreign country.” (Leona, practical training year, surgical term in South Africa)
Leona and other outgoers talk about their experiences abroad on our blog Greifswald goes International [de] and our podcast [de].
