School internship abroad

The content on this page was translated automatically.

An internship abroad as part of the school internship is generally possible in all subjects. However, only one part of the internship (SPS I, basic internship, SPS II, practical semester or teaching-related course) can be completed abroad (HLbG). For the internship abroad to be recognized, the school must be located in the EU or it must be a German school abroad (HLbG).
