Internships outside Europe with PROMOS

Scholarships to support an internship in non-European countries


Since 2013, the IPU Berlin has participated in the DAAD program PROMOS. This program is intended to increase the mobility of IPU students in non-European countries and provides support for practical-training related stays by students in the form of a partial scholarship or a grant for the travel costs worldwide.

Which Services comprise the funding?

In the framework of PROMOS, internships abroad between 2 and 4 months are eligible for funding. The financial support consists of a country specific scholarship and a lump sum for travel costs. Current funding rates can be found here (in German only).

Selection Procedure

First, the International Office accepts the applications and assesses the applicants' formal eligibility for funding. Afterwards, the IPU's Commission of International Affairs distributes the scholarships primaily on the basis of GPA and motivation.

Visa fees and insurance coverage

Any potential visa costs, as well as the costs for accident, health and third-party liability insurance coverage are not covered by the support. Nevertheless, insurance coverage must be verified before commencing the trip.
