and summer term (June-August). Internship length can range between 3- 12

bachelor, master and PhD students from all over the world. Please note that the application process is
highly competitive and positions usually fill up six to twelve months
before the beginning of the internship period.Applications will be considered
on a first come first serve basis. Therefore, please make sure to apply at
least 6 months before the internship start date. In order to apply email the

Knowledge of Arabic is a plus but not a requirement. Kindly note that the
internships are not paid and that successful candidates must make their own visa,
accommodation and travel arrangements. Due to the highly competitive nature of our
program we often have a long waiting list and cannot save seats for
applicants who are unsure of their availability. Therefore,please email Dr.
Ababneh immediately if there are any changes to your application status.
