An internship is mandatory for International Master Students in various degree programmes at the Faculty of Engineering.

Although the programmes are in English, A1 level in German is required. In this workshop for students with little German knowledge we will focus in English and German on finding and applying for as well as communicating with colleagues during your internship. The workshop resumes all German levels.

The knowledge of cultural differences and some of Germany as well as Europe will be helpful for your advanced contact with German colleagues.

We will work out communicating effectively with your colleagues throughout your internship.

Cultural and language skills:

• German A1 level in role plays.
• Visual and textual examples.
• Dealing with forms.
• Introduce yourself and formulate your research interests.
• Finding an internship and writing an application letter in advanced German.
• Interaction throughout the internship.
• Be approachable. Being friendly and approachable will make people want to talk to you. But what means friendly in Germany?
• Show an interest. How can you formulate your interest in German?
• Make yourself available. Which phrases would be helpful to show your availability.

The workship provides material for learning and further studies as PDF.
