Internships, BSc/MSc/HiWi subjects
During your studies, you can contribute to our ongoing research projects. Join us in pushing the limits of what is technically feasible and be part of breaking new ground together. We offer a variety of challenging and practice-oriented topics as internships, bachelor’s or master’s theses or as student assistants (paid HiWi jobs). You will analyse important scientific preliminary questions and support the project teams with development activities.
Depending on your specialist expertise and the content of the project, it is possible to combine scientific work at IMMS on a flexible part-time basis with a Master’s qualification after completing your Bachelor’s degree. This parallel training on the job in a dynamic environment networked with industry is ideal for a career start in application-oriented research and paves the way for a career at IMMS, for a PhD or entry into industry.

The time periods of two to six months normally available for completing a Bachelor’s or Master’s dissertation are usually much too short to enable students to work on complex engineering tasks like developing a microelectronic circuit from schematic design through to production and measurement.
Therefore, our students frequently take up our invitation to get involved early in their degree course by taking a student research assistant or internship position with us. In these they learn the practical skills they will need in addressing real engineering problems in microelectronics, electronic system design and mechatronics they will face when doing their BSc and MSc at IMMS.
This means that our students get a particularly comprehensive and realistic insight into both technical content and management of engineering projects over time. On occasion, the long-term relationships the students make with us lead to a full-scale research job at IMMS later.
You will be able to call on our whole infrastructure in your work. We have a internationally competitive infrastructure, fully meeting industrial norms, supporting the design of and experimentation on electronic and mechatronic systems, and underpinning our and your research work and the preliminary qualification processes.
Here you can find our current list of topics
You can filter the following topics according to your interests. Many of the topics are flexible in terms of start and duration or can be integrated into different periods of study. Many of them can be arranged as internships, bachelor’s or master’s theses or as paid student job (HiWi). In contrast to the vacancies, please apply by e-mail directly to the contact person named in the topic. Before you start – you can find out how we process your data in your application in our privacy statement or in this PDF.

“In my bachelor’s thesis, I developed a demonstrator for energy self-sufficient read-out of an LFA test strip using NFC. I was able to extensively exploit my creativity and productive technical discussions with my later colleagues as well as good technical equipment helped me to successfully complete my thesis.”

“During my time at IMMS I discovered new challenges that went beyond the contents of my studies. For example, I combined the topic of my Bachelor’s thesis with the scientific fields of opto-physics, chemistry and electrical engineering. I like the fact that many topics for student work are integrated into ongoing projects and their results are incorporated there.”

“I am currently integrating AI algorithms into measuring procedures to increase their efficiency. One of the reasons why working at IMMS gives me so much pleasure is the fact that I have chance to put my own ideas into practice.“

“One important factor for me is to always share my knowledge with colleagues and supervise students in a way that will enable them to become and want to become colleagues one day. My current position allows me to continuously develop myself further regarding various aspects. One personal goal is therefore to work on a Habilitation with a focus on my IoT research.“

“For me, there is no satisfaction in designing the hundredth exhaust elbow so that it can be manufactured for a few cents less. I rather set my sights on raising the functionality to the highest technically possible level, so I concern myself with vertical movement systems in nanometre positioning and measuring machines. Why did I choose to come to IMMS? Here, I am a member of a team like a family group in which we all level with each other.“

„All the knowledge I am acquiring is building up a base for my doctoral studies on analogue coverage. What a good choice I made in joining IMMS, not only academically but personally. The atmosphere in our team, the international stage on which we play and our constructive discussions constantly contribute to my personal and professional progress.”
