Internships

The internship program contains two components: the internship and the internship seminar. The internship provides students with the opportunity to develop valuable career skills through guided, hands-on experience as contributors to an organization's or individual's work. The seminar embeds the internship within an academic framework in combination with reflective examination of the role of these organizations and individuals within Berlin and internationally. Our seminar instructors provide both theoretical and practical support and supervision in order to empower students to excel in the workforce. Students receive academic credit upon successful completion of both components.

Bard College Berlin assists students in finding an internship placement that matches their qualifications and interests; students can expect to work 10-13 hours per week. Most internships are unpaid but some students have also received reimbursements in the past. Internship placements are competitive, and all students applying for an internship enroll in the internship seminar during the course registration period. Both components are essential to the internship program.
