WebsiteResearch-Internship-Programm/ForschungspraktikantenprogrammResearch Internship Program You are a motivated international student interested in gaining research experience in Germany? Then the Research Internship Program (RI Program) is perfect for you! It offers you the opportunity to become part of a THA research group and contribute to a project. You’ll work full-time for 1–3 months in an English-speaking environment, and if you wish—and with the approval of your home institution—you can have your internship recognized, for example, in the form of ECTS. Program Overview Open to international students (enrolled outside of Germany) in a master’s program or in a bachelor’s program beyond the second semesterWorkload of 40 hours per weekMany exciting projects from the various departments at THA are available to choose fromInternship duration of 1, 2, or 3 monthsFlexible start dateInternship completely in English (no German required)Enrollment at THA possibleFunding through scholarship (STIBET) possibleInternship may be recognized as academic credit (depending on sending university) Research Projects - Overview Two options: With or without enrollment at THA To register or not to register—that is the question! The RI program allows for both options! You can find the differences between the two options in the table below. How can I apply? Has a project caught your interest and you'd like to apply? Here's how! Step 1: Choose a project and time slot Before you contact us, think carefully about which project from the list you’d like to apply for and what time frame (start and end dates) you have in mind for your internship. Typically, an internship can last one, two, or three months. After consulting with us, you can also choose a different internship duration, as long as it doesn’t exceed 90 days. If you’re not sure which project to choose, or if you’re worried that a project might already be taken, you can also send us a list (preferably with your preferences) of the projects you’re interested in. Step 2: One email is all it takes! Once you’ve made your decision and want to apply, simply send an email to the RI coordinator, Frederic Wagner (luiz.frederic.wagner@tha.de), as well as to the project supervisor (only if you’ve chosen just one project). The email should include the following: Information about yourself, i.e., your name, country of birth, place of residence, home university (+ location), field of study, and your current semester or academic yearyour project or a list of your projectsPlanned start and end datesWhether or not you’d like to be enrolled at THA The RI coordinator and the project supervisor will then decide whether we can offer you an internship. To make this decision, you may be asked for your resume or transcripts, so it’s best to have both ready or include them directly in your email. Step 3: Time for the Details If we can offer you an internship, we—the RI coordinator, the project supervisor, and you—will schedule a Zoom meeting to clarify the organizational details and the next steps. And don’t worry: there isn’t much paperwork, and you’re welcome to ask questions about any document. How long before my internship is scheduled to begin should I apply? That depends largely on whether you want to enroll at THA and whether you are an EU citizen. The following table provides an overview: How can I pay for my internship? Let's get the bad news out of the way first: As an intern, you'll be working for us without pay. But now for the good news: There are still ways to finance your internship. For example, you can check the DAAD’s scholarship database to see if there are any scholarships that suit you and your situation. In addition, as part of the DAAD’s STIBET program, we offer scholarships specifically for participants in the RI program. The scholarship amounts to between €250 and €500 per month for a period of 1 to 3 months. You can find more information in the following call for applications: How do I find an apartment in Germany, and how do I get a visa? Unfortunately, the housing market in Augsburg is quite challenging. On top of that, the THA does not own any apartments that we could offer you for rent. We therefore advise you to start looking for housing as early and thoroughly as possible. You can find general information as well as tips and tricks on housing here. An important note: If you’re staying in Germany for less than 90 days—which applies to participants in the RI program—you don’t need to register your residence with the citizens’ office or pay the public broadcasting fee. If you’re coming from outside the EU, you should also start thinking about your visa well in advance. You can find general information on visas and studying here. The visa requirements for a stay of up to 90 days may differ from those for a regular exchange semester in Germany. A student visa may not be required for citizens of certain countries. Depending on the country, a tourist visa issued with a visa stamp is considered sufficient or no visa at all is required and a valid passport suffices. Please also note that these regulations change starting on the 91st day of your stay. Please contact your study abroad advisor to clarify whether, based on your nationality, you need a student visa to participate in the RI program. For more information on visa-free entry, see the overview of visa requirements and exemptions for entry into the Federal Republic of Germany. Call for Applications: STIBET Contact Scholarships for Participants in the RI Program Call for Applications: STIBET Scholarships for RI Program Participants Scholarships for Research Interns in the 2026 Calendar Year The International Office (IO) at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg (THA) awards scholarships to participants in the Research Internship (RI) program, subject to the availability of funding.

RI coordinator: Frederic Wagner WebsiteCooperative doctoral programs with universitiesCooperative doctorate What is a cooperative doctorate? Helpful information Consulting We would be happy to advise you in detail on this topic. Please feel free to contact us at rita.hilliges@tha.de or by phone at +49 821 55 86-3114. What is a cooperative doctorate? Since the comprehensive reform of Bavarian higher education law in 2006, and explicitly since the amendments to higher education law in 2009 and 2011, as well as further changes in 2012, cooperative doctoral programs between universities and colleges are now explicitly defined in law. Universities are required to regulate cooperative doctoral programs in their doctoral regulations. Within the framework of cooperative doctoral programs, professors from a university and a university of applied sciences (HAW) agree to jointly supervise the doctoral studies of a graduate—who may come from either a university or a HAW. University professors are involved in the formal doctoral procedure at the university as reviewers. The degree is awarded by the cooperating university, but the doctoral candidate's workplace is usually at the university of applied sciences. Procedure Supervision agreement Funding options Procedure The first step toward pursuing a doctorate at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg is to contact a professor who will supervise your dissertation. In principle, this is possible at all seven faculties of the university. The university's doctoral supervisor usually acts as an examiner in the cooperative doctoral procedure. The requirements for a doctorate are based on the doctoral regulations of the respective faculty of the cooperating university, which will award the doctoral degree upon successful completion. It should be noted that the doctoral regulations of different universities can vary greatly – in some cases even from faculty to faculty. Admission to a doctoral program usually requires a very good university degree. In some cases, additional examinations may have to be taken at the cooperating university in order to be admitted to the doctoral program. A doctoral program usually takes between three and six years to complete, assuming full-time work. There is no specific schedule for dissertations. A successful doctoral thesis confirms the ability to work independently in a scientific field. This should be taken to heart as a basic principle: at the heart of a doctoral thesis is scientific research into topics that were previously unknown worldwide. The first step in a doctoral thesis is to identify a research question to be explored in the thesis. This is done in close consultation with the supervising professor and the professor at the cooperating university. It is important that the research question is suitable for a doctoral thesis. Usually, there is a close connection to the areas of expertise of the supervising professors. The topic of the dissertation is often determined in the first year of academic work. The dissertation itself is usually written in parallel with the academic work, during which publications in specialist journals, known as papers, are produced. Some universities even allow a cumulative dissertation consisting of several publications in specialist journals. In some cases, the production of publications is specified as a prerequisite for the doctoral examination in the doctoral regulations. A doctoral certificate from the cooperating university is usually only issued after the dissertation has been published and a doctoral examination has been passed. In this case, the completed work is usually "defended" before the first and second examiners and assessor(s). The defense is often followed by an oral examination of the doctoral candidate. The exact procedure is regulated in the doctoral regulations. The dissertation is usually only published after approval by the supervising professors and the faculty at the cooperating university. Supervision agreement A supervision agreement between the supervising professor and the doctoral candidate regulates milestones and mutual expectations. Supervision agreements are highly individual. However, there are recommendations from the German Research Foundations, the Science Council, and acatech. In addition, it is recommended that meetings be arranged at regular intervals to discuss the current status of the research results and, if necessary, to document them. Funding options Doctoral candidates are usually employed as research assistants at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg and have their workplace at the university. These positions are usually funded by publicly or industrially sponsored research projects. There is usually a connection between the topic of the doctoral thesis and the research projects being worked on. However, the doctoral thesis is not the same as a final report on a research project.
