What is the module "Internship Plus"

The module "Internship Plus - Competence Training and Occupational Field Orientation" is a special form of voluntary internship. The module offers bachelor students of all fields of study the opportunity to earn ECTS credits (pass/fail assessment) for the interdisciplinary BOK section at ZFS by completing a voluntary internship, if the internship is completed within the module.

In particular, bachelor students who do not have to complete a compulsory internship can have a voluntary internship credited for the BOK area.

How do I submit my course registration request for the module "Internship Plus"?

You can submit your request for an internship at any time. Registration is independent of the ZfS (Center for Key Qualifications) booking phases.

Please submit the completed registration form to ZfS or drop it in the ZfS mailbox (Universitätsstr. 9, 2nd floor) or send it by e-mail to praktikumsmodul@zfs.uni-freiburg.de.

Can an internship be interrupted?

In principle, yes. If possible, you should complete at least four weeks at a time.

Can internships that were completed as part of a training program be credited?

Internships completed outside of the module cannot be credited, since the internship is only part of the module. Furthermore, the preparatory tasks on ILIAS before the start of the internship and the online reflection are integral parts of the module in which the internship is embedded.

Can already completed internships be credited in the BOK area afterwards?

Already completed internships cannot be credited retroactively.

Internships can only be credited within the internship module. The preparatory tasks on ILIAS before the start of the internship and the online reflection are integral parts of the module. Since the internship is only a part of the module, crediting outside the module is definitely not possible.

How long does the internship have to last in order to be recognized in the internship module?

For the recognition of the internship in the internship module, you have to prove a minimum of 140 hours of internship for 6 ECTS credits (a form for this can be found in the download area of the module), the total duration of the internship has to be at least 4 weeks (if necessary, minus vacation days).

If you want to earn 8 ECTS credits, you have to prove that you have completed at least 210 hours of internship. The total duration of the internship has to be at least 6 weeks (if necessary, minus vacation days).
