Course Description:
The aim of this compact course is to prepare international students linguistically for an internship at a German company or institution in Germany. Both written and oral language skills that are useful for successfully completing an internship will be trained: relevant text genres such as cover letters, CVs, professional e-mail correspondence as well as phrases for conversations in business and professional contexts. 
The language skills acquired in the first part of the course are practised in the second part of the course in realistic scenarios and role-plays for job interviews.
The course content not only prepares you for the linguistic challenges of an internship but is also valuable for a later entry into professional life and is therefore directly relevant for your integration into the German labour market.
The compact course “Deutsch für den Praktikums- und Berufseinstieg” is also a preparatory language course for the “Frame Your Career” programme at Heidelberg University.
