The three-months 'Science and Engineering Intership Program' is held at Leibniz Universität Hannover and Clausthal University of Technology  from May 21 to August 9, 2012.

The first two weeks, held in Clausthal, are dedicated to an orientation period including intensive German language classes and intercultural training.

Afterwards, students will participate  in a ten-week  research project in their individual department in Clausthal or Hannover.

Participants will be supported by a personal supervisor at the institute. Furthermore, the student will be supported by the  staff of the International Office of both Universities  and a "Study Buddy"  to orient in Clausthal or Hannover. 

All aspects of this program are conducted in English.

• Our teams of the International Offices in Clausthal-Zellerfeld and Hannover are always happy to help and support students in all aspects.
• A personal Study-Buddy will be assigned to the student on the first day of arrival in Germany
• A supervisor of the specific department will foster immersion into the chosen project work.

Participants will typically receive 12 credit points each:

• 6 CP by participation
• 3 CP for German language classes
• 3 CP for project thesis

However, acknowledgement of credit points depends on regulations at the home university.

• Company visits to e.g. VW, Airbus, Sennheiser, MTU
• Field trips to Berlin, Hamburg, Munich (optional, additional costs of ca. $ 150,---)
