accadis Career Center
The accadis Career Center is your central point of contact if you have any questions regarding applications or the search for internships, working student positions, student traineeships or entry level positions.

Be proactive!

Whether students find a suitable internship or job, strongly depends on a variety of factors, such as good grades, excellent application documents, a clear perspective of one’s career objectives as well as a convincing personality. Students should be aware that they must play an active role during the ongoing search process, while the Career Center under the leadership of accadis Vice President Professor Dr. Andrea Hüttmann provides assistance and support.

German language skills – very helpful

As our experience shows that a successful application for an internship very often depends upon the student´s German language skills, accadis Hochschule provides its international students with the option of completing a project-based studies case instead of an internship. In case your search for an internship is not successful, you will choose this option instead. Needless to say, in both cases, you will obtain the necessary credits required for your degree.
