Information on internships and research projects

Internships should be completed in a field of activity related to the contents of the Master's programme in Survey Statistics. If you are unsure about later crediting, you can have this checked in advance and confirmed by the examination board using the form below. Research projects differ from internships primarily in that they are carried out in cooperation with a chair/institute at a university.

In principle, only internships that have been started after taking up the Master's programme in Survey Statistics can be credited, since an essential learning objective is the practical application of the skills acquired during the MiSSDA programme.

A six-week and up to three-month internship can be regularly included in the Master's programme Survey Statistics with 8 or 16 ECTS credits. In terms of labour law, such an internship is thus a compulsory and not a voluntary internship (please refer the personnel departments to this paragraph when inquiring).

Credits for examinations and internships/research projects

Please send the completed forms and necessary documents digitally only to anrechnung.stat-oek(at)uni-bamberg.de. If you have any questions in advance, please contact Ms. Lea Voll,M.Sc.

With the form below you can:

• have credits awarded for work already completed which, according to the module handbook, are also part of the curriculum of the Master's programme in Survey Statistics & Data Analysis (MiSSDA)
• have achievements recognised as so-called equivalent achievements. This includes "substitute modules" (applies primarily to diploma students whose PO does not correspond to the current course offerings), but also achievements at other universities that are comparable in content to a corresponding MiSS module.
• generally have achievements recognised for a certain module group. This applies, for example, to seminars that are offered once or too irregularly to be included in the module handbook.
• Achievements from the module group "Application" that are not listed in the module handbook. In this case, confirmation should be made before taking the module.
• Have the content equivalence/creditability confirmed before the performance ("Learning Agreement"), for example in the run-up to a stay abroad or when taking modules that are not listed in the module handbook.

The credit form for (external) examination achievements in the M. Sc. Survey-Statistics & Data Analysis can be found here.(146.9 KB, 2 pages)

For the crediting of internships/research projects, you are also required to submit a short report on your activity and you need proof showing the duration of your activity (e.g. certificate, confirmation from the AG).
