Internship in International Higher Education: Experiences from Universidad Loyola Andalucí
As part of my master’s program in economics, I had the opportunity to complete a three-month internship at Universidad Loyola Andalucía in Seville. My area of work was the International Association of Jesuit Universities (IAJU), which is based at the university. The internship lasted from September 23, 2024, to December 20, 2024, and provided me with valuable insights into international university cooperation as well as the economic and geopolitical aspects of academic networking. „Internship in International Higher Education: Experiences from Universidad Loyola Andalucí“ weiterlesen
Biology Internship at the University of Washington, Seattle
The Masters of Biochemistry program at the Freie Universität Berlin involves multiple research projects allowing students to become familiar with academic research in different groups and fields. These projects can be carried out in one of the research groups across the vast Berlin research landscape but also in institutions across Germany or abroad. I had already completed one of these mandatory research projects in a group in Berlin and was excited to experience research abroad and especially in the USA with its world-renowned universities.

PhD-Internship in Switzerland
I am thrilled to have such a wonderful opportunity to participate in a five-month Erasmus+ internship, working with a research group at the Department for Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmacy, University of Bern. As a doctoral student, I value learning from and collaborating with individuals from other research groups. My home group focuses on traditional computer-aided drug design (CADD), while the group I worked with during my internship focused more on advanced cheminformatics techniques. This opportunity allowed me to extend the main project of my PhD study and facilitated future collaboration between groups. „PhD-Internship in Switzerland“ weiterlesen
Researching at an Biotech Company in Vienna
As a master’s student in Molecular and Cell Biology at Freie Universität Berlin, I had the opportunity to complete a six-month Erasmus-funded internship at a biotech company in Vienna, Austria. The internship focused on antiviral drug development, directly aligning with my professional aspirations in research and development. This experience provided me with invaluable training, enhanced my scientific skills, and offered a unique perspective on the dynamic environment of the biotech industry. „Researching at an Biotech Company in Vienna“ weiterlesen
Internship Abroad in Spain, University of Barcelona
I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Biochemistry at Freie Universität Berlin. For my Erasmus internship, I decided on Barcelona because I had previously completed an Erasmus semester there. Since I already knew the professor of the research group from the lectures during my Erasmus, the application process was very straightforward, and I received an immediate acceptance. Preparing the documents for the Erasmus+ Internship application also went smoothly and without any issues.

Researching in Penicuik, Scotland
In order to graduate Biology doing an internship outside the FU is mandatory. Due to a lucky coincidence, I found the Moredun Research Institute’s parasitology group.
My decision to go abroad for my internship as well as doing so at MRI was the best one, I could’ve made.
Research Internship at Maastricht University
I began by gaining knowledge of the types of signals to be acquired and analysed in 7T laminar fMRI and knowledge of the most common statistical packages used in data analysis. In the following weeks I practised these skills on an existing dataset provided by Prof. de Martino. I also gained access to educational materials prepared by Dr. Federico de Martino and received one-on-one consultation sessions with the Prof. de Martino as well as scientific exchange within the research group.
Blended Internship in Edinburgh
Erasmus+ blended training format and destination choice
The Erasmus+ traineeship is an useful opportunity to benefit from an international exchange once graduated, as in my case, having concluded my studies on the SS24. Not having been before in Scotland, I chose it as destination because of a seminar delivered by a professor coming from Edinburgh. This seminar was hosted during the period I was conducting my master thesis project at the local research institute Max Delbrück Center.
Research Internship at EEZA, Spain
I did my ERASMUS internship in a research group on plant ecology in Almería, Spain in November of 2023. „Research Internship at EEZA, Spain“ weiterlesen
