Into the future with BPW

What kind of support can we offer you?

Basic internships

The first step towards your degree!

Many degree programmes require a basic internship of 6 weeks for admission to the degree programme.

During the basic internship, you can gain practical experience in various fields of application and optimally prepare for your studies.

This includes in particular:

  • manual processing of materials
  • Machining (turning, milling and drilling)
  • non-cutting shaping by pressing
  • joining techniques (welding and soldering)
  • Basics of electrical engineering
  • additive manufacturing (3-D printing)

Internship semester

GAIN YOUR FIRST EXPERIENCES!

The internship semester offers you a valuable insight into the working world and your future career field. You will not just "watch", but will be actively involved in our projects and work on current topics that are of great importance to the company. The internship semester often also serves as preparation for a subsequent thesis.

You will receive a salary of 1000 EUR per month and have the opportunity to eat in our company restaurant. You are not from the region? No problem - we provide furnished company flats if required. In addition, you can use our gym free of charge and have access to free WiFi.

Theses

TOGETHER TO THE BEST POSSIBLE DEGREE!

For your thesis, we offer innovative topics with a strong practical relevance and high academic standards. You will receive support from experienced specialists who will work with you to achieve the best possible degree.

We give you maximum freedom to write your thesis. In addition, our company restaurant, fitness studio and, if required, a furnished company flat are available to you free of charge. If you wish, you can also combine your thesis with a specialised internship. And finally, you can look forward to an attractive recognition bonus.
