Student Internship

Student Internships

Are you studying one of the humanities, archival studies, information science, journalism/public relations, or digital humanities? If so, why not complete your compulsory internship at the Arolsen Archives?

Current examination regulations stipulate that compulsory internships (mandatory mid-course internships) are obligatory. Internships are not subject to social security contributions. Unfortunately, the Arolsen Archives cannot pay any remuneration. Two internships are available per semester.

The program is designed differently depending which semester the student is in. We offer the following:

• Basic internships for students in the 2nd to 4th semester: Introduction to all specialist departments

• Internships for students in the 5th semester or higher: Introduction to all specialist departments; the internship is then continued in the department that corresponds to the student’s major field of study

• Internships for special projects as advertised

Duration and requirements

Internships should last for a minimum of 6 weeks and a maximum of 12 weeks.

Interns should be interested in the history of Nazi persecution and its impact on subsequent generations. Open-mindedness, flexibility, a high level of motivation, and a willingness to work both independently and as part of an international team are also important. A good command of English would be advantageous. Additional language skills would be helpful, especially in Polish and Russian.
