Internships

On this webpage you'll find information on internships that are available at the Faculty of Earth of Life Sciences (FALW) or elsewhere. Please note that the list of intern projects below is not complete. If you like to do your internship at one of the institutes affiliated to the faculty, please check their websites as well to find out about the possibilities.

Overview of FALW research institutes  

Although we aim to keep the list as up to date as possible, the internship application deadline may already be closed. Also, a project may seem outdated because of it’s publication date, but the internship may still well be available or is due to be available again. Some departments need interns for several years in a row for on-going research projects.

You are therefore advised to always contact the department/institute to check the availability of internship placements.
