Internship abroad with financial support
You can complete your internship abroad at any time. Of course, the technical reference is a prerequisite for recognition here. In non-European countries, therefore, there are very few potential institutions - relevant would be e.g. Embassies (Kulturreferate) or Goethe-Instituts.
Also for an internship abroad there is financial support: The internship should then go 3-12 months. You also have to find the internship yourself. If you have found potential institutions, you can talk to the study office about the recognition.
The International Office of the University of Freiburg advises on funding opportunities for internships abroad.
You will find reviews of internships abroad here.

- Tenders of the Baden-Württemberg-Scholarship
- PROMOS - scholarship program for short stays abroad
Recognition of academic achievements
The courses attended at foreign universities should be clearly assigned to the fields of European ethnology. We recommend that you arrange your own study plan with us at the host university prior to your stay abroad in order to ensure the smoothest possible recognition of the services provided. Responsible for the recognition of external study achievements is the study office.
