University internship
If you are interested in completing your university internship with us, please first check whether your university already has a valid cooperation agreement with Soft Flow. If it is not in place yet, this can usually be arranged easily by initiating the contracting process through your institution. The duration of the internship depends on the requirements of your degree program, so we encourage you to review these before applying. As we are committed to providing meaningful learning experiences, we offer a limited number of internship positions each year. This ensures that every intern receives personal attention and can make the most of their time with us.
