To satisfy students' demands for practical training abroad during their course of study, most degree programmes require an internship. An internship is meant to give students the opportunity to learn about their field in a real working environment. The emphasis lies on learning.

An internship abroad offers students additional advantages:

• You will learn about new cultures and working environments
• You will learn new ways of working and problem-solving strategies
• You will be able to practise and perfect your language skills under real life conditions
• You will widen your chances for an international career

The "International Internship Manual" is meant as a compact guide, to help students at the University of Bremen to successfully plan their internships abroad and have a valuable experience. You will find information on different regions of the world as well as information on financing and where to find additional and reliable information.
