RISE Germany is a summer internship program for undergraduate students from the United States, Canada and the UK in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, earth sciences, engineering and computer science. RISE Germany offers unique opportunities for bachelor degree students to work with research groups at universities and top research institutions across Germany for a period of two to three months during the summer. RISE interns are matched with doctoral students whom they assist and who serve as their mentors. The working language is English. All scholarship holders receive stipends from the DAAD to help cover living expenses.

Please note, this program is administered by DAAD’s headquarters in Bonn, Germany. Kindly visit www.daad.de/rise for the complete program description and application guidelines.

RISE gave me invaluable skills and connections, as well as important experience that is highly valued by admissions committees and employers. I made amazing friendships and had an amazing time. It was one of the best experiences of my undergraduate career.
