The Regular Application Process 

By sending in your Online-Pre-application, you will be placed in the pool of applications. We will then offer you internships based on your preferences (countries, duration, qualifications), out of which you will select a favorite. We will then try to get your preferred internships at the exchange conference and will inform you about our success. Now you have to decide if you want to commit bindingly to take the offered internship or decline. The internships will then take place in the following year, usually in the summer months.

The deadline for submitting a pre-application on the IAESTE exchange platform  is early January (usually 15.01). The internships will then take place within the time period of May the same year to April the year after. 

You can find a more detailed description of the regular application procedure in the section Application.

Application on Vacant Positions 

There are usually very interesting internships that are not assigned after the first round of the regular application process. These internships are offered again in the so-called late exchange process. It doesn’t matter if you already applied during the regular application period, anyone can apply for the vacant positions. We will send you the related deadlines via e-mail.

 

Apart from these positions, there are also those that were submitted too late for the previous or too early for the following application phase. Those are called Early Offers or Late Offers and are oftentimes appointed on short notice. You can find positions like this under Current Offers. If we get such a vacant position from the national committee, we will inform you via e-mail aswell.

 

If you are interested in one of the offered internships, write us at mail@iaeste.uni-stuttgart.de, so we can reserve the position for you.

The payment by the local company should be enough for the cost of living in that country (accommodation and food). Usually you will get cash at the end of the month. You will have to pay for traveling cost (including Visa, vaccination, insurance) yourself, though. To help you with traveling outside the EU, there is the possibility of financial support by the DAAD.
