The research internship

Eine Studierende erklärt einem Kommilitonen etwas zu Geräten KIT

The research internship provides students with insights into project and team-oriented research activities as early as the Bachelor's degree.

The research internship is completed at a KIT institute or at an external research institution. It is intended to give Bachelor students interested in research an insight into project and team-oriented scientific research activities. The assessment of success consists of a written internship report. The research internship is recognized by the Internship Office in the same way as an industrial internship.
In consultation with the supervising institute, a final presentation on the content of the research internship can also be arranged.


Use this website to find out more about the ETIT institutes' research internship topics. Then get in touch with the contact persons at the institutes: Your individual project will be defined in more detail together with you. If you have a specific idea for project content that is not yet listed in the table, you can also contact an ETIT institute directly that matches the content of your project idea. You are also welcome to involve other faculties or research institutions.
