Finding the Right Position

The search for an internship is great practice for the job search after your studies: You need to take your time finding appropriate host institutions, and it is best to send off more than one application. However, students at TU Dortmund University are not completely on their own: The International Office has tips and contacts to help you find the right host.

You don't know where to start? In Moodle you'll find the most current information, just for TU Dortmund University's students:

  • Current internship postings
  • Current scholarship postings
  • Information and links for your degree program, sorted by department
  • Companies across the world that welcome applications

Internship Programs through the International Office/DAAD

The university's own programs as well as AIESEC and the DAAD's programs help you get in touch with companies faster and give you more than practical experience; you get to participate in a cultural exchange as well.

stellenwerk Dortmund

stellenwerk is a university job portal that was started in 2007 as a cooperation project between the Universität Hamburg, the HAW Hamburg and the Technischen Universität Hamburg and to which Dortmund now also belongs. Students can find internships, part-time jobs, traineeships and full-time jobs through the portal. Graduates can also find open positions to start their career.  Through the information portal stellenwerk Ehrenamt you can also find opportunities for volunteer work or offer your assistance and give back to society.

More and more offers from abroad are posted in the portal, so it is a good idea to take a look at what is currently on offer.

Volunteer Work and Social Projects (in German)

Volunteer work is not just relevant for students in the social sciences or humanities. Sometimes it is even possible to complete an academic internship as a part of these aid projects: from installing water pipes in an Asian village to working with youth projects in Africa - anything is possible. The application deadlines vary, and some organizations may even place applicants after the deadline. Further information is available directly from the organizations' websites.

One advantage to these organizations is that a scholarship often comes automatically with the placement in a project. Please note that the descriptions for these organizations are in German.

You'll find further projects in the country-specific information below and in the degree-specific information on the Moodle page.

Please refer to the German page for a list of volunteer organizations.
