Duration
The required total duration of the internship is 8 weeks, but at least 290 working hours. The internship can be divided into individual sections of at least 2 weeks each (at least 70 working hours). It is strongly recommended that you complete all or most of the internship before starting your degree programme.
Internship content
The internship must be completed directly on construction sites or in construction companies. Practical work on the construction site (e.g. bricklaying, shuttering and striking, etc.) is required. Site manager and office activities as well as activities from the areas of responsibility of engineering offices cannot be recognised. It is recommended that you work in different areas of construction (building construction, road construction, etc.).
Suitable internship companies
The internship should take place in companies that are primarily involved in structural engineering in building construction, civil engineering and road construction. This also includes traditional craft businesses such as carpentries and bricklayers. Companies that mainly deal with refurbishment, renovation, interior work or installations are unsuitable.
Under Downloads you will find the document "Classification of Economic Activities", in which you can look up the suitable fields of activity under F41.2, F42, F43.1 and F43.9 on pages 3 to 5. The relevant sections are marked in green.
Please contact the Internship Office in advance if you are unsure whether a chosen internship company falls into the above-mentioned economic sector classifications.
