Students can complete one or more internships relevant to their studies in each study cycle (i.e. Bachelor, Master, PhD, Diploma). However, it is recommended not to complete a student internship before the third semester.

GRADUATE INTERSHIP

Graduate internships can be undertaken after any degree (i.e. Bachelor, Master, PhD, Diploma).

The application for a graduate internship must be made during the degree program. Students must not be enrolled in a further degree program at the start of the graduate internship.

Important: The enrollment at the University of Arts Linz ends on the date of the final examination. From this point on, you are no longer a regular student and can therefore no longer apply.
