Innovation Academy Sustainability Internships Program

Bryn Mawr College and the Department of Environmental Studies is partnership with the Innovation Academy in Germany's "Green City" of Freiburg to offer international internships for Bryn Mawr students. Sophomores and juniors pursuing any major who maintain an active status at the College and are in good academic standing are eligible to apply. Students may apply for up to two internship sites. Complete descriptions for each internship site can be found in Handshake. Please note that language requirements vary by internship site.

Freiburg has been a center of environmental innovation since the 1970s. It is a leader in renewable energy as well as sustainable housing and transport. The Innovation Academy has been introducing groups from around the world to the "Green City" since 2004. The Academy sees itself as part of a global movement that aims to contribute to societal transformation through educating on sustainable development. In addition to coordinating the internships, the Academy offers interns a program with intercultural training, excursions in the context of sustainability, company visits and regular cohort meetings to exchange experiences and build community. Students will be housed with host families, in private studio apartments, or in shared student flats. Questions?
