HCIAS MASTER'S PROGRAM Internships
Application period is now open for a study start in October 2025!
New admission regulations for master's program enable a study start in the summer semester (April) and the winter semester (October).
As part of their studies, HCIAS students can gain practical work experience within the mobility window of the Master's program. Depending on the student's qualification profile, the internship can be research-oriented or application-oriented. Accordingly, it can be planned and organized as a stay at a research institute or outside academia, e.g. in the private or public sector.
HCIAS students are supported by our study coordination team in their orientation and search for a suitable and meaningful internship. Our selection of internships already completed by our students as well as experiences and impressions shared by HCIAS students on this page provide initial insights.
