1. registration
Registriere dich auf unserer Bewerbungsplattform.
Wichtig: Registriere Dich nur einmal, auch wenn du dich für mehrere Studiengänge bewerben möchtest. Bei zulassungsfreien Studiengängen ist dir der Studienplatz sicher. Du kannst dich deshalb nur für einen zulassungsfreien Studiengang bewerben/einschreiben.
2. add application form and enter data electronically (upload supporting documents if necessary)
Wähle deinen gewünschten Abschluss und Studiengang aus und gib alle nötigen Daten im Bewerbungsportal ein. Falls erforderlich, lade die angeforderten Nachweise hoch.
Sobald du den Bewerbungsantrag elektronisch abgegeben hast, wirst du automatisch zum Immatrikulationsportal weitergeleitet, um die Immatrikulation im gewünschten Studiengang elektronisch zu beantragen. Wenn du du deinen Schulabschluss/Studienabschluss außerhalb von Deutschland erworben hast oder bereits in Deutschland studiert hast, wird deine Bewerbung durch uns geprüft, bevor du die Immatrikulation beantragen kannst.
4. apply for enrollment electronically
Im Immatrikulationsportal gibst du weitere Daten ein und klickst anschließend auf „Digitale Immatrikulation abschließen“. Danach findest du im Bewerbungsportal deinen Immatrikulationsantrag als PDF.
5. send the enrollment application including documents by mail to the University of Applied Sciences Jena

Fertig – willkommen an unserer Hochschule!
Du möchtest deinen Studienplatz doch nicht annehmen? Schade! Hier findest du Hinweise zu deinen nächsten Steps.
Aims of the preliminary internship
The pre-study internship serves to impart basic knowledge of the processing and machining of the most important components and materials of mechanical engineering/mechatronics. In addition, insights into technical and organisational correlations of production processes and sociological aspects of a company are to be gained.
Duration of the preliminary internship
The duration of the pre-study internship is at least 10 weeks with at least 35 hours per week. School hours, holidays, illness and other absences do not count as internships. In justified cases, a missing pre-study internship can be made up in lecture-free periods up to and including the 3rd semester. It is permissible to divide the pre-study internship into parts, but none of the parts should be less than three weeks long.
Contents of the pre-study internship (examples)
- Familiarisation with and application of essential basic skills in metalworking (marking out, sawing, filing, drilling, thread cutting, ...) as well as simple measuring and testing equipment (caliper gauge, outside micrometer, vernier calliper, ...)
- Reading drawings
- Practical familiarisation with typical manufacturing processes in the metalworking and electrical industries (e.g. metal-cutting manufacturing processes, printed circuit board production, primary and forming processes, joining and assembly technology, assembly and connection technology).
- Practical familiarisation with typical components and systems of mechanical engineering as well as mecanics and electrical engineering.
The practical training can take place in various areas such as
- Production, assembly
- Research and development
- Service (repair, maintenance)
- Measuring and testing laboratories
Proof of the preliminary internship
The company providing the internship shall issue proof of the internship completed. This must contain the period (or periods) as well as the essential contents and activities of the internship. The decisive factor for recognition is solely the activities related to the degree programme, but not the type of company or institution. With regard to the suitability of a potential practical placement, a preliminary examination by the Internship Office is possible.
Recognition of vocational training as a pre-study internship
Completed vocational training in a relevant apprenticeship occupation can be recognised as a pre-study internship. This includes professions in the metalworking industry and related industries.
