UAS7 offers three programs which allow students to study and/or intern in Germany. For University of Tennessee students, the program options function as follows:
UT Students may participate for the UT spring semester/German sommer semester only and are required to meet with both a Programs Abroad Coordinator and their academic advisor(s) regarding their plans prior to applying. Students will complete the Programs Abroad Office application procedures and may have access to their UT financial aid and scholarships.
This program is designed for student participation for a full academic year and allows students to spend the fall semester (approximately September-February) studying at a university and the spring semester (approximately March-July) interning or conducting research. UT students should meet with a Programs Abroad Coordinator, their academic advisor(s), and the College of Engineering Office of Engineering Professional Practice prior to applying.
Students will complete the Programs Abroad Office application procedures and may have access to their UT financial aid and scholarships for the fall study semester only. For the spring research/internship period, students should follow the procedure to apply for a co-op/internship through the Office of Engineering Professional Practice AND complete the UT International Travel Registration process for students once their placement has been determined.
Students interested in hands-on research opportunities may apply for the Internship Program, which allows participants to work alongside teams in campus research laboratories and institutes. Project lengths and timelines vary depending on the faculty member supervising the project, and projects are available in a variety of disciplines (see project descriptions). UT students should meet with their academic advisor(s) and the College of Engineering Office of Engineering Professional Practice prior to applying. Once their placement has been determined, students should follow the procedure to apply for a co-op/internship through the Office of Engineering Professional Practice AND complete the UT International Travel Registration process for students.
**Please note that all students, regardless of program option, must also follow the relevant UAS7 application procedures.**
