If you’re a student, you have the perfect opportunity to check out your potential future career environments while you are still completing your education. You can also give your own interests and talents a test run. This is also true for your B+D adventure – the optimum launch pad for students is definitely an internship, which offers both parties the opportunity to get to know each other. At the same time, it offers you the option to think about and initiate cooperative arrangements early on in conjunction with your future dissertation (Bachelor’s or Master’s). In most cases, the fact that students have the opportunity to get to know their own team co-workers during the internship, does play a key role in their decision-making-processes with regard to future employers. At B+D, we intensively integrate interns into our teams and projects from day one on the job.

This is how it works ...

• ƒƒJust like every competition, the race at B+D begins with a qualifying round, which consists of an internship that spans several months. The start date and duration depends on the study curriculum.
• ƒƒThe choice of dissertation topics offered later is tailored primarily to the students’ interests and coordinated with the latest focal topics at B+D’s respective business units.
• ƒƒDepending on the topic, students decide at their discretion whether they will work on the dissertation at home or at the company.
• ƒƒObviously, the aim of this successful cooperation is the attainment of the pole position – i.e. a contract-based job offer from B+D.
