Vocational internship (BA Sociology)

In the vocational internship, students of the Bachelor's program in Sociology gain initial professional experience in a social science field of work. Alternatively, they can get to know scientific work in a sociological research project during the research internship.

The vocational internship is designed to give you an insight into the professional and working world of a social scientist and to provide opportunities to reflect on your own sociological skills. A variety of practical fields in which sociological thinking and action are applied are suitable for this purpose, for example

• in companies,
• in non-university market and social research,
• in non-governmental organizations and associations
• in journalism or public relations
• in health care,
• in trade unions or other interest groups
• in administration or
• in the arts and culture

You have a wide range of internship providers at your disposal - however, when making your choice, you should pay attention to the possibility of applying the skills and competences you have learned in your sociology studies.
