Internships
We offer students, pupils, and anyone interested the opportunity to experience library practice up close and to actively help shape it. Discover our diverse internship opportunities.
From classic library work – such as user services, acquisition, and cataloguing – to innovative digital research support, the Göttingen State and University Library offers diverse insights into the working world of a modern academic library.
- Short-term internships and practical semesters for students of library and information science
- One- to two-week internships for FaMI trainees
- Practical semesters for students of conservation and restoration
- Internships for library trainees (Bibliotheksreferendar*innen)
- Internships for students of other library-related degree programmes
- One-week internships for school pupils
- “Zukunftstag” for school pupils (takes place annually in April)
Information on the Application Process
Due to our strong commitment to training and developing our own staff, we are unfortunately unable to offer internships to applicants from non-library-related degree programmes or professions, nor can we offer internships for general career orientation. In addition, for administrative reasons, we can only provide internships that are a compulsory part of a curriculum or degree programme.
If you are interested, please submit a complete application (CV, transcripts, etc.) to the contacts listed below at least three months prior to your desired start date:
- FaMI/BA students, pupils: Ulrike Hallaschka, Theresa Waldmann
- MA students, library trainees (Referendariat): Dr. Mona Kirsch, Steffen Hölscher
