Internship

Make the most of our services – and take the stress out of organising your internship

We provide you with support before, during and after your degree programme internship. Every year, we help between 500 and 600 students with the arrangements for their placements in Austria and abroad. In other words, we have plenty of experience.

Compulsory Internship

Internship support for business students

All our degree programmes have one thing in common: they are designed with the requirements of industry in mind and have a strong practical focus. This means that you’ll gain your first work experience while still at university – during your compulsory internship.

When you’re looking for an internship place, we’ll be on hand to offer you advice and support. We’ll give you feedback on your written applications as well as interview tips. Our experts maintain contact with numerous companies in Austria and abroad that offer internship places. This is something that students find extremely beneficial as it makes finding a placement much easier.

We’ll also be there for you during and after your internship and always look forward to receiving the final internship reports from our students, who complete a diverse range of placements.

During the course of your degree you’ll do practice placements in a range of specified areas. This will enable you to apply what you’ve learned in practice at an early stage. More and more of our students are opting to do a placement abroad – which is a fantastic experience.
