JYM/CDS
Internship Program

The
Junior Year in Munich has formed a partnership with CDS International
that allows students to integrate internship experience with their
academic schedule of coursework during the second semester (SoSe).
The internship is usually three days a week during the entire semester
(for 6 credits), and students are required to register for two additional
courses for a semester total of 12 credits. Interested students
will need to complete a separate "CDS
Internship Application Supplement" and send it to JYM in Detroit
at the same time they apply for admission to the JYM program.
How
to Apply
1.
Obtain Your Advisor's Approval
Because
each school may have a different policy governing the granting of
academic credit for internship experience, you will need to work
closely with the advisor who approves your Proposed Schedule of
Courses on the JYM application.
2.
Apply to the Junior Year in Munich
Students
accepted to the JYM/CDS Internship Program must take a full course
load during the Sommersemester (i.e. at least 12 credits per semester).
Since you will be earning 6 credits for the CDS internship (JY 589
Overseas Internship), you will need to plan on taking two additional
courses for a semester total of at least 12 credits. The additional
coursework needed may be any combination of JY/JU/U courses.
In
order to receive a final course grade for JY 589, students must
submit an Internship
Portfolio (MS-Word file) to the JYM resident director by the
end of the semester in which the CDS internship occurred.
Pending
your advisor's approval, complete only the portion of the
Proposed Schedule of Courses on the JYM application entitled "JYM/CDS
Internship Program Option".
3.
Apply for the CDS Internship
There
are two steps to this procedure:
A.
Complete the CDS
Internship Application Supplement (PDF)
You will need a resume in German (download a sample
Lebenslauf as PDF)
B.
Send both the CDS Internship Application
Supplement and the JYM Application Form together to JYM
in Detroit by March 15.
Notification
of Acceptance
The
JYM forwards all CDS internship applications to CDS together after
the program application deadline. Based
on the information you provide on the Internship Application Supplement,
CDS will inform JYM if they are able to secure an internship for
you that matches your interests and field of study. If yes, CDS
will then contact you directly, ask for additional information if
needed, and arrange a telephone interview.
