Certificates from the faculty for interns

Some companies where the internship is to be completed (in the case of internships abroad, for example, also the visa authority) require the intern to submit a certificate stating that a compulsory internship is to be completed as part of the degree program.

The faculty offers the following for the relevant degree programs:

1. standard compulsory internship certificate

Personalized to the student, it certifies that a professional internship of the predefined minimum scope must be completed in the degree program and that the student still has to provide proof of the internship.

This certificate is accepted as sufficient by most companies.

2. detailed compulsory internship certificate

It contains the details of the standard certificate + additional information on the specific internship planned:

• Internship period from ... to
• Company / location
• Confirmation of creditability for the compulsory internship

In order to be able to make these statements, the relevant information, including keywords on the planned activities, must be sent to us in advance. In many cases, self-declaration without further documentation or supporting documents is sufficient. We will contact you if we require corresponding documents from the company. (Submission of documents only via KIT mail account, otherwise delays cannot be ruled out).

3. certificate of voluntary internship

If the compulsory internship has already been proven, a compulsory internship certificate will no longer be issued. However, upon request, students can receive a certificate stating that the faculty and KIT support voluntary internships related to their studies.

English certificates

All of the above certificates are also available in English

Attention: Bachelor's degree program in Information Management

Every intern receives a detailed mandatory internship certificate as standard after approval of their internship (see approval process BSc. InWi).
