LC Konstanz Support us

We are the IAESTE team at the University of Konstanz. Our committee consists of five students from various studying fields.

We volunteer to ensure that students from Konstanz and the surrounding area can do a paid internship abroad. At the same time, we look after students who come to Konstanz for an internship. More precisely, this means that we organize the application process for internships abroad and are available for you as a contact person during the application process. We also support our international guests by looking for accommodation and helping them with the daily hurdles that life in Germany can bring with it. We also organize excursions and all kinds of leisure activities like a barbecue on “the Hörnle” (a swimming spot), a kayaking weekend on Lake Constance, a trip to the Black Forest, or an international cooking evening.

We are involved with IAESTE because we enjoy contact with foreign interns. Our motivation is to enable as many students as possible to go abroad and thus promote intercultural exchange. Have we piqued your interest? Would you also like to work for a network of global internship exchange? Then drop by or write us an email! We always meet on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. in PZ801 (currently only virtual).
