Discover an exciting opportunity to dive into hands-on research at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (THA)! Our Research Internship (RI) program connects motivated international students with innovative research groups, offering a unique chance to gain research experience.


The Research Internship program allows qualified students from abroad to join a THA research group and contribute to a pre-defined project (confer project overview). Interns work full-time in an English-speaking environment and receive official recognition through an RI certificate.
