IES Vienna

About the Program:

Students participating in an Internship placement will also be enrolled in a 3 credit seminar course. This course provides an introduction to the cultural context for the internship placement by examining cultural issues in the workplace with a particular focus on preparation for entering the work environment. Writing and discussion topics also introduce the concept of skill-building in cross-cultural competencies including cross-cultural communication, teamwork, and conflict mediation. The course consists of two parts: online pre-departure modules that prepare students for culturally appropriate résumé development and interviewing skills to facilitate proper placements, and on-site classroom discussions to enable students to process what they experience at the internship host organizations.

Proficiency in German is a requirement for several internship areas. Read more here. A four-credit German language course is required to be taken while on the program. Students with no prior knowledge of German language should take all of their courses at the IES study center. Students with advanced German may also take courses at Universität Wien.
