Internships for school students

We offer the opportunity to complete both a one-day internships and longer internships, such as two weeks, at our two sites and in different departments. If you are interested in sciences, technology or business, we are sure to have a suitable placement for you - provided that a supervisor from the relevant department of the institute is available for the relevant time period.

We particularly recommend internships in the research or technical departments of our institute from grade 10 onwards. Please apply online via our application portal only. The application form gives you the opportunity to specify which department and location you would like to apply for. In your cover letter, it is also helpful to mention your specific fields of interest as well as the department(s) within our institute that you would like to get to know during your internship.
