-__The intership may be exchanged by:__
-  - An intership in a research center rather than in industry, e. g. in FZ Jülich or a Max-Planck institute or a Fraunhofer institute. Please not you need a supervisor (see above) and an application to the examination board to be permitted to do this.
-  - A so-called "second" mini-thesis. The name "second" does not imply that you need to have accomplished your regular "first" mini thesis first. This thesis has to be experimental since it replaces a practical internship! To make it absolutely clear: A pure simulation work or a literature survey are not complying to this rule.You still need to find a Prof. and apply to the examination board.
