This led to a job offer in HR Development and the opportunity to study for a master's degree in HRM while working. Back then, I would never have dreamed that I would now be responsible for HRM at our largest subsidiary as a team leader.

To enable you to gain comprehensive experience and actively participate in projects, in some cases independently, we prefer to offer internships lasting three months or longer and therefore none pre-internships.

However, we do not rule out shorter internships and carefully perform testing on every application. ##### What is the ideal time frame for an internship? Internships and theses can be started at any time of the year, on the first working day of the month. The decisive factors are the opportunities for placement and supervision in your desired department. ##### Are internships possible if they are not advertised? Yes, you are welcome to send us a speculative inquiry. Please indicate which areas you are particularly interested in. ##### When is the right time for me to get in touch? Please reach your contact at least three to four months before your planned admission. ##### What documents should my application contain? We require a cover letter, resume, and certificates and certificates from you. Please indicate the planned period in your cover letter and ensure that your contact details are up to date. If the internship is required by your university or is part of your thesis, please also send us the relevant guidelines from your university, e.g., in the form of an excerpt from the examination regulations. ##### In what form should I send my application?
