Business Administration/Purchasing and Logistics
Approximately half of Purchasing and Logistics students at Hochschule University have experience in foreign countries through internships, study abroad and the completion of theses in a foreign country. Our department sees the spending of time abroad as an important factor in establishing your career path and, accordingly, experience in a foreign country is seen positively by potential employers.
You can find an extensive brochure on study abroad at the E-Learning-Plattform der Hochschule Pforzheim.
Internships and term paper topics offered by companies are available either directly over our Career-Center or through the appropriate platforms hosted by businesses, clubs and other associations. In some cases, prior experience in the respective organization is expected. If you are interested in completing an internship or thesis abroad, plan ahead in order to allow time for visa application procedures, which can be highly time-consuming in some cases.
Financing your internship
You can apply for financial aid for your internship in a foreign country. InWent (Internationale Weiterbildung und Entwicklung GmbH), for example, offers aid to young people completing an internship abroad. The program is aimed at students of business and applied technology at German universities.
If you are planning to complete an internship abroad with a duration of no less than three months, have work experience and are under the age of 30, you can apply for partial cost or travel cost stipends:
| Application deadlines: |
For the summer semester, typically late November |

For the winter semester, typically late May. |
