Internship and Career 

The Study Abroad & Internship Roundtable gives interested students the chance to learn more about study abroad and internships as part of their degree program at ASL. Students, who have either studied at a foreign university or did an internship, will talk about their experiences and answer questions. Afterwards we will have an informal get-together, where students can talk with ASL‘s study abroad advisor Anja Eifert and internship coordinator Katharina Freitag and, of course, other students.

On December 7, ASL students attended this semester's Internship Workshop to hear more about completing an internship as part of their studies. ASL Internship Coordinator Katharina Freitag talked about where to find an internship, possibilities of doing internships abroad, how to get funding, and how to receive credits for internships.

On October 25, 2011 the Career Center will host the lecture "Nach dem Studium ins Ausland? Berufschancen und Perspektiven."
