Profile Content Internship & studying abroad

Internship semester

In the fifth semester, you will enter the working world by an internship to show what you have already learned during your studies. You will look for an internship that suits you and your ideas, e.g. in a publishing house or agency, with a public authority or broadcasting station, or even in industry. We will support and accompany you in the best possible way. A special advantage: The internship semester can also be completed abroad.

Choose from internship possibilities from different areas:

  • Media and communication: in publishing houses and public and private broadcasters, in communication departments of companies and agencies.
  • Technology: in companies that produce and operate digital media and applications.
  • Science:  in the field of science and knowledge transfer and knowledge technology.
  • Civil society: NGOs, churches, foundations under civil law and other institutions oriented towards the common good, also in pedagogically-didactically oriented social segments such as lifelong learning.

Exchange semester

You want to go abroad? We support you!

In another country you will not only improve your foreign language skills but you will also learn to adapt to a new social environment and to react flexibly to changes. It is equally important to establish contacts with other students and to better get to know the particularities of foreign countries and cultures.

It is easiest to combine a stay abroad with the internship semester, but other than that HKA also has worldwide cooperations with various universities. The International Office (IO) will actively support you in traveling to your desired destination and will help you with the crediting of courses you attend there. You can also contact the IO to find out about help with financing your study semester abroad.
