Bachelor students in the fields of Physics, Engineering, Biology and Medicine.

Please note:

IMPRS internships are only available for bachelor students who are still enrolled and will have completed at least four semesters of their bachelor studies when starting their internship.

Applications from master students can't be taken into account! Unfortunately, this also applies to students who are part of an integrated BS-MS programme.

Suggestions from our side:

Bachelor students who are in their last semester should consider to apply for an IMPRS master fellowship instead. Master students interested in IMPRS-PLL could sporadically visit our website to stay up to date about open PhD positions.
