Internships
The Hannah Arendt Institute for Totalitarianism Studies e. V. at the TU Dresden (HAIT) continuously offers internships to support the institute's work and research activities. The HAIT systematically researches the two ideological dictatorships of National Socialism and Communism as well as their preconditions and consequences. It further focuses on researching current challenges and threats to democracies. The HAIT's research pursues interdisciplinary approaches in the historical, political, cultural and social sciences.
Interns at HAIT will gain insight into the different research fields and projects at the institute and gather first experiences in research, as well as in the areas of knowledge transfer, public relations and administration. A specialization is possible upon consultation. Students of the MA Digital Humanities at TUD Dresden University of Technology have the opportunity to work on practical projects.
Only internships required in the study regulations are possible. For labor law reasons, we cannot offer internships without this basis. The internship is unpaid and usually lasts as long as the respective study or examination regulations for mandatory internships stipulate. Working hours can be adapted to the semester schedule in consultation with the supervising researchers at HAIT.
