Pre-Study Internship Undergraduates
Why we expect you to complete a pre-study internship
A pre-study internship, preferably in the field of social or ecological work, should primarily contribute to making the necessary break from school and taking on initial socio-political responsibility. Raising awareness of the needs of people in need should shape future founders and decision-makers in influential positions at an early stage. Social entrepreneurship, as promoted by Zeppelin University, can only be practiced successfully if the actors involved have an understanding of the socio-political reality and recognize the importance of non-profit companies in society and the economy.

The aim of the pre-study internship is therefore to gain an overview of the field of activity of relevant institutions and to get to know an organization by way of example. This includes an understanding of business models, processes, culture and management behavior as well as the attitudes of employees.
The length of the internship is six weeks of 240 hours each (this corresponds to eight working hours per day). The internship can also be completed part-time and will be extended accordingly. You can also combine several internships (e.g. two three-week internships), but they must all be completed at the same institution.

Please note: Students starting the Bachelor's program in Corporate Management & Ecnomics must complete this internship in the non-profit or social sector.
Please note: Ideally, you should have completed your pre-study internship before starting your studies. However, your application will not suffer any disadvantages if you are unable to upload proof of your internship at the time you submit your application. If it is not possible for you to complete the pre-study internship before starting your studies, you have the option of doing it during your studies.
No ECTS points are awarded for the pre-study internship as part of the degree program. In principle, the recognition of proven pre-study internships is decided on a case-by-case basis.
