Internship

The vocational qualification activity III (BQT-III), module 8 is divided into a 450-hour inpatient part and a 150-hour outpatient part. The internships usually take place in cooperation facilities of the Institute of Psychology at the University of Kassel. The internship is usually carried out part-time so that it can be completed during the semester. The internship can be started after the end of the 2nd semester at the earliest (successful completion of Module 8 - BQT-II is a prerequisite). You can start with the inpatient or outpatient part. A series of activities must be carried out as part of both internships, for which you will receive a list of tasks at the beginning. The supervisors must give you a receipt for the activities carried out. Certain tasks can only be carried out in the inpatient or outpatient part. Normally, a pre-allocation is made by the university once a year in spring so that both parts of the internship fit together. Please take part in the priority survey, which is always sent out at the beginning of the year via the mailing list.

The cooperation facilities are both inpatient and outpatient healthcare facilities that ensure that the requirements of the licensing regulations for psychotherapists are met. You will be supervised there by licensed psychotherapists and gain an insight into the psychotherapeutic care of patients. The facilities are authorized to conduct selection interviews.

Allocation to the facilities is usually carried out in advance by the internship coordinator(s). Therefore, do not contact the cooperation facilities yourself beforehand, but wait until you are asked to do so. There are sufficient facilities in the region of North Hesse/South Lower Saxony/+adjacent areas. You can also look for work placements outside the cooperating institutions yourself. In this case, however, an individual internship contract must be concluded with the University of Kassel to ensure that all requirements within the internship are met. Please allow sufficient time for this. In addition, you must be able to attend the practical seminars, which take place on Mondays at the University of Kassel, parallel to the internship period.

At the end of both partial internships, the following documents must be submitted by e-mail to praktikum.psychologie[at]uni-kassel[dot]de:

• 2 internship certificates (1x outpatient and 1x inpatient)
• 2 completed questionnaires (1x outpatient and 1x inpatient)
• 2 internship reports (1x outpatient and 1x inpatient). The report should be 7-15 pages long and contain all the questions from the questionnaire. 1.5 line spacing and numbered consecutively.
• The attendance documentation of the outpatient case seminar
• The case documentation ("routing slip")
• The four anamnesis protocols can be created across both internships. Please submit these anonymously together with the other documents required for booking the BQT-III services at the end of both internships. The case histories are part of the examination regulations and must therefore also be submitted if you are not registering for the licensing examinations.

Please send us the 12 documents within 6 weeks after the end of the 2nd internship as (12) individual pdf files and not combined. Documents sent to an email address other than the one stated above will not be checked in the future.

The documents will therefore only be posted after completion of both parts (modules 11 and 12). The documents will then normally be processed within 3-4 weeks and entered in your transcript of records.

An internship abroad is not possible, as the requirements of the PsychThApprO are generally not met there.
