Internships, jobs, BSc/MSc 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 for mandatory internships, Bachelor’s or Master’s theses or for student research assistants. You will analyse important scientific preliminary questions and support the project teams with development activities.
Your benefits with us
- Get practical training and use it as study credit.
- Receive best and individual support.
- Get theoretic in-depth knowledge of methods for the practical implementation of you solution.
- Work on challenging research subjects.
- Use our extensive technical equipment that meets industrial standards.
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.
- Electrical Engineering or Information Technology
- Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronics
- Computer Science or Computer Engineering
- Related fields like Physics, Mathematics or Biomedical Engineering
The time periods of two to six months for completing a Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis are usually much too short to work on complex tasks like developing a microelectronic circuit from schematic design through to production and measurement.
Get involved early in your degree course as student research assistant or for your mandatory internship and learn the practical skills you will need for engineering problems in microelectronics, electronic system design and mechatronics and for your BSc and MSc you can work on at IMMS as well. This will give you a comprehensive and realistic insight into the content and processes of engineering work.
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 them according to your interests and flexibly integrate their start and duration into different periods of study. Many of them can be arranged as mandatory internships, Bachelor’s or Master’s theses or as student assistant jobs.

#thueringenweltoffen
Out of a shared concern for the state of democracy in our country, organisations and individuals from all over Thuringia are getting involved with »Weltoffenes Thüringen«:
We stand for a Thuringia that is open to the world.

“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 was 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.”
