The Study and Career Counselling Service facilitates access to internships in Germany and abroad, provides practice-related contacts, maintains a database of businesses, and advises students on the preparation and funding of their internship.

In order to expand students’ possibilities for building a profile based on their individual interests, inclinations and career aspirations, modules amounting to 30 CP may be selected from other degree programmes, such as the M.Sc. in Neuroscience and the M.Sc. in Biology. In addition, modules may be completed at other universities or institutions for higher education in or outside Germany. As a whole, the modules should reflect a main focus. The open structure of the degree programme takes into account the fact that the complexity of biomedical research requires an interdisciplinary approach. A stay abroad is facilitated by the possibility of obtaining 30 CP externally. An entire semester can therefore be spent studying abroad, as 30 CP corresponds to the credits that can be obtained in a semester. The second and third semesters are particularly suitable for this. Further options consist of taking the External Research Project Molecular Biomedicine module  (gsw160) worth 15 CP, in which an individual research project is carried out at another university or research institution in Germany or abroad. In addition, the bi-national model degree programme Human Medicine of School VI - Medicine and Health Sciences allows for studies in cooperation with the European Medical School Oldenburg-Groningen (NL). The degree programme complies with the Lisbon Convention, thus ensuring the recognition of qualifications in higher education in the European region.
