Internship Abroad
BTU students can also do an internship abroad. An internship abroad can be integrated into your study at different times. A mandatory internship as well as a voluntary internship can be made at BTU. In some study courses an internship is part of the curriculum and can also be completed abroad.
The time you need for the preparation is not as long as a study semester abroad. Duration and date are also more flexible.
