Apply for internXchange — Summer Journalism Program for U.S. Undergraduates

Application Deadline: January 31, 2012

DAAD is pleased to announce the fourth year of "internXchange," an intensive scholarship-supported summer seminar/internship program in Berlin for 15 American journalism and communications students with strong German language skills from colleges or universities in the U.S. The Summer Internship Program in Berlin for American Students of Journalism or Communication will take place at the International Center for Journalism at Freie Universität Berlin from June 4-August 27, 2012.

The program consists of two complementary segments. For the first six weeks of the program, participants will take part in a seminar series to expand their academic understanding of the politics, society, and culture of Germany, and the country's current social conditions and media scene. During the second week, students will go on excursions within Germany together with journalism students from the Independent States of the former Soviet Union. The final five weeks consist of an intensive internship with a German newspaper, magazine, radio station, or PR firm in or near Berlin. Participants receive a monthly stipend, and will be provided with health and accident insurance by DAAD. Intercontinental travel will be at the participants' expense.

The application deadline is January 31, 2012. For details on eligibility and application requirements, please visit: www.daad.org/page/internxchange
