Internships

The internship in Module D is mandatory and consists of 12 ECTS. It can be completed either locally or abroad. There are two options: a part-time or a full-time work placement. In case of a part-time employment, students can substitute the missing ECTS with workshops from the Viadrina Founders Center (Gründungszentrum) with 1 ECTS equating to 1 workshop (16 hours).

Students should make arrangements for internships on their own. The practical experience should correspond to the study program and refer to digital society. The Viadrina Career Center can also assist in the internship offers.

Upon submission of the completed application form (see below), the ENS Examination Board handles the acknowledgment of internships or work placements. In order to get their internship recognized, students must provide a confirmation certificate from their employer specifying their weekly workload, the internship period and the tasks completed.

More detailed information can be found in Attachment 3 of the Study and Examination Regulations applicable to you (2020 version or 2023 version).

Master's Thesis

Once you have completed all required modules / ECTS (please check §10 of the Study and Examination Regulations (SPO) applicable to you (2020 version or 2023 version), please send an email to the Examination Office (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) asking for admission to the Master’s thesis.
If all the criteria are fulfilled, you will receive a form (a "routing slip") from the Examination Office. Please enter your chosen first and second supervisor and let them confirm by signing the document.
The day on which your first supervisor enters your Master’s thesis title on the form marks the first day of the processing period (16 weeks for SPO 2023 / 8 weeks for SPO 2020).
Once the title is entered, please hand the form back to the Examination Office to get confirmation of your thesis’ submission date.
You need to hand in two paper copies and a digital version of your thesis at the Examination Office by the submission deadline.
The supervisors have six weeks to evaluate your master’s thesis. After that, you will agree with them on a date for your oral exam (Final Colloquium).
