Completion of a foreign internship lasting at least 30 days is a mandatory part of doctoral study. Ideally, the student chooses a foreign institution on their own, in cooperation with their supervisor and/or chair of the doctoral programme, and according to the focus and research topic of the dissertation thesis. The Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS, Dresden, the cooperating institute in the study programme, will be the natural choice. In exceptional cases, the requirement of fulfilling the international internship can be substituted by either i) active participation in international projects, or ii) by national internship, longer than 30 days, at the R&D of an innovative company with international outreach. In both cases, the internship must be pre-approved by the doctoral board and later recognized by submitting a written report explicitly describing the student's role, participation details, and contribution towards and benefiting from internationalization. Literature: There is no relevant scientific literature.
