You get a direct insight into our topics and experience for yourself how the close collaboration with universities and applied universities as well as industrial partners works in applied research. 

Comprehensive support

We don’t leave you on your own during your time as a student assistant or intern; we offer close supervision and active assistance to support you with your thesis.

Onboarding program

There is nothing standing in the way of your successful start: we will inform you about the processes at the institute right from day one with a range of sessions.

Flexible working hours

Studying can take up a lot of your time and be truly exhausting – we are well aware of that, and that is why you can coordinate your number of hours and work schedule individually with your team. Together, we will find a way to make it work.

As a student, you have the option to complete some of your work from remote, for example from home, depending on your tasks. We will provide you with the technical equipment. In addition, you can also utilize the institute’s co-working space in Bremen.
