What is the internship?

The self-organized work placement is intended to provide insights into areas of life and work that have no points of contact with the vocational field of school.

The work placement is required for the degree programs Teaching at Primary Schools (L1), Teaching at Secondary Schools and Realschulen (L2), Teaching at Grammar Schools (L3) and Teaching Special Needs Education with a focus on inclusion (L5).

This does not apply to students studying to teach at elementary school and secondary modern schools who started their teacher training after 2014 and before 2023.

This internship is not required for vocational and business education courses. Instead, company internships of 48 weeks are completed there.

  • Service, processing, trading and production companies are recommended as internship locations.
  • The duration of the internship is at least 8 weeks. The internship can also be divided into two parts, e.g. 4 weeks each at two different internship locations.
  • The examination consists of the internship report. Information on preparing the internship report and the recognition procedure can be found on the homepage of the Hessian Teachers' Academy.
  • The internship certificate must also be submitted there by the time you register for the first state examination at the latest.
  • The following activities are fully recognized as company internships:
    Military service, civilian service or federal voluntary service, an FSJ or FÖJ, a one-year internship at the FOS, completed vocational training
  • An activity comparable to a work placement in terms of duration and type (8 weeks/full-time/outside the educational and (university) scientific field) leads to full recognition if the work placement report is prepared for this purpose.
