Eligibility
Numerous applications are received each year for this very popular programme, however ESA only has a limited number of internships available across the establishments. To be considered students should have the following backgrounds:

- Students from technical institutions granting professional diplomas (for example the DUT or BTS from France, the Fachhochschule or Gesamthochschule from Germany or Ingeniero Tecnico from Spain).
Duration
Internships last from three to six months, preference being given to longer internships. In exceptional cases it may be possible to grant an internship of up to nine months in order to meet the specific requirements of an educational institution. Students are normally given one internship during their studies, however this can be split into two parts provided that the total duration does not exceed six months.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test. More information
