IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Students applying for internship work placement can now do so with a copy of their college or university enrollment certificate rather than the original.
What does the change mean? Students should keep their original certificates and submit copies.
Background: Foreign students applying for internships in Germany must show they are enrolled in a college or university by submitting a form called an enrollment certificate. Whereas applicants previously sent originals, they are now encouraged to keep their original certificates because they may be requested by German embassies or consulates in their home countries.
BAL Analysis: The change adds flexibility that makes the overall application process easier. Applicants for student internship work placement should send copies of enrolment certificates with their applications and retain originals in case they are requested by German embassies or consulates.
