Internships
The Assistant Professorship of Sustainable Future Mobility offers students who are enrolled at a university abroad the opportunity to participate in the Assistant Professorhip's current research topics as part of the Practical Project Student program. This can take the form of a research internship or an academic work/thesis.
In order to participate in research as a Practical Project Student (PPS), it is first necessary to find a supervisor at the professorship. You can either look for a suitable supervisor directly at the professorship or contact the student exchange coordinator for Aerospace.
If you are looking directly at the professorship, contact the doctoral students/postdocs directly (see under “Research Staff”) with a clear idea of how you can contribute to the research field of the professorship. The cover letter should also include a detailed description of the objectives of your project.
Once you have found a suitable supervisor at TUM, you can apply online to TUM for up to two semesters as a Practical Project Student. For more details on the application process and the required application documents, please visit the PPS website. Please make sure your application is complete.
The next opportunity to enroll as a PPS is on 15 May 2025, for which the application round ends on 1 April 2025.
You can find more information and contact details for questions on the PPS website.
