Internship

The vocational qualification activity III (BQT-III), module 8 is divided into a 450-hour inpatient part and a 150-hour outpatient part. The internships usually take place in cooperation with the Institute of Psychology at the University of Kassel. The internship usually takes place part-time so that it can be completed during the semester. The internship can be started after the end of the 2nd semester at the earliest (successful completion of Module 8 - BQT-II is a prerequisite). You can start with the inpatient or outpatient part. A series of activities must be carried out as part of both internships, for which you will receive a list of tasks at the beginning. The supervisors must give you a receipt for the activities carried out. Certain tasks can only be carried out in the inpatient or outpatient part. Normally, a pre-allocation is made by the university once a year in spring so that both parts of the internship fit together. Please take part in the priority survey, which is always sent out at the beginning of the year via the mailing list.

The cooperation facilities are both inpatient and outpatient healthcare facilities that ensure that the requirements of the licensing regulations for psychotherapists are met. You will be supervised there by licensed psychotherapists and gain an insight into the psychotherapeutic care of patients. The facilities are authorized to conduct selection interviews.

Allocation to the facilities is usually carried out in advance by the internship coordinator(s). Therefore, do not contact the cooperation facilities on your own beforehand, but wait until you are asked to do so. There are sufficient facilities in the region of North Hesse/South Lower Saxony/+adjacent areas. You can also look for work placements outside the cooperating institutions yourself. In this case, however, an individual internship contract must be concluded with the University of Kassel to ensure that all requirements within the internship are met. Allow sufficient lead time for this. In addition, you must be able to attend the practical seminars, which take place on Mondays at the University of Kassel, parallel to the internship period.

The four anamnesis reports can be prepared for both internships and submitted continuously or bundled at the end (digitally). This also applies to the expert report.

Please also submit the case documentation (digital) at the end.

This means that it will only be posted once both parts (modules 11 and 12) have been completed. The documents are then normally processed within 2-3 weeks and recorded in your transcript of records.

An internship abroad is not possible, as the requirements of the PsychThApprO are usually not met there.
