All about internships

On the following pages you will find comprehensive information on internships in Germany and abroad as well as helpful information on applications and formalities such as certificates for compulsory internships or templates for internship contracts.

A specific internship is not declared as a compulsory internship by the University in advance. Final recognition is usually only granted after successful completion of your internship.
Have you completed an internship and would like to register it as a compulsory internship?
Recognition is not decided by the ZKK, but by the person responsible for internships in your degree programme.

Faculty of Humanities and Cultural Studies and Faculty of Social and Educational Sciences

For subject-related questions about the compulsory internship, students of the Faculty of Humanities and Cultural Studies and the Faculty of Social and Educational Sciences can contact the programme coordination team.
You must submit the application for recognition of an internship together with a report and an internship certificate confirming the exact duration of the internship (as well as the form for recording stays abroad in the case of internships abroad) in a PDF document by e-mail to praktikum.sobi-geku@uni-passau.de. Please name the file as follows: "Lastname, Firstname_DegreeProgramme_Date.pdf" (example: "Doe, Jane_BA_ICBS_01.01.2024.pdf"). Note that the date format is DD.MM.YYYY Files that do not meet these requirements will not be processed.
For further information, please refer to the joint internship guidelines for the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes of the Faculty of Humanities and Cultural Studies and the Faculty of Social and Educational Sciences. These provide information on the aim, content, duration, timing and recognition of internships as well as on the preparation of an internship report. Furthermore, the guidelines contain information on those study programmes for which a compulsory internship is required by the study and examination regulations.

Faculty of Law

Information on the practical study periods in the Law degree programme can be found on the website of the Faculty of Law.
The contact point for questions regarding the JAPO (2003, §25 and §49) state examination in law is the Landesjustizprüfungsamt (state judicial examination board).
If you have any further questions, especially in the LL.B. Legal Tech, please contact the relevant student advisory service for your degree programme.

Faculty of Business, Economics and Information Systems

Students in the Bachelor's degree programme Digital Transformation in Business and Society are recommended to complete a work placement in a professional field before starting their studies or during lecture-free periods. In the secondary subject “Minor” Entrepreneurship, the "Praxismodul Entrepreneurship" can be chosen. This is a full-time internship lasting at least two months. This internship must be completed in a start-up environment or in a comparable practical environment in terms of content and scope. The application for recognition of the internship or practical experience is made by submitting an internship certificate and an internship report or comparable evidence to the examination board.
Please address your enquiries to: studiengangskoordination.wiwi@uni-passau.de

No internship is required for any subjects not listed in the respective study and examination regulations. If required, however, you can request a non-binding letter of recommendation from the ZKK for the completion of a voluntary internship.
