Semester abroad and internship

Studying abroad

Part of the degree programme also includes giving students the opportunity to spend a semester studying at one of the many partner universities of the FH Vorarlberg.

The international network at the FH Vorarlberg has been continuously expanded in recent years so that a broad range of student exchange places are ensured around the world.

You will receive more detailed information on the subject of studying abroad from the International Office.

In the 4th semester of the InterMedia degree programme, students can go to our partner universities or spend a semester here in Dornbirn studying together with guest students from around the world. The 4th semester of the degree programme InterMedia is completely offered in English language.

Internship

Get to know the work world directly and learn implementation skills

An internship gives you insight into the world of media production, be it in the for-profit or non-profit sector, where either monetary or social capital is created. Projects, customer orientation, deadlines, team processes are experienced up close.

Internship positions
The university does not arrange internships. The internship is an occasion to study the labour market and actively approach agents, media companies or design offices in Germany or abroad. Preparation for the application phase is offered in the course "English for Applications", in which the application phases are explained and practised.

Length of internship
The internship for the bachelor's degree programme in InterMedia lasts at least 10 weeks. It takes place between the 4th and 5th semester and can be completed in Germany or abroad. The lectures in the 5th semester begin after 1 November of the year.

Transferring credits
An exemption for the internship (=crediting of internship) is only possible if relevant training was completed before the degree programme or the student has many years of experience in the industry. An informal application is to be submitted to the Head of the Degree Programme with a copy of the final certificate or the proof of work. The Head of the Degree Programme will then decide whether the internship can be credited.
