Internships: More than just making coffee
Discover how important internships are for gaining practical experience, making contacts and developing skills.
💼 The importance of internships for your career: more than just making coffee
🚀 Why internships are worth their weight in gold
For many students, "internship" sounds like a compulsory program - or at worst: unpaid work, fetching coffee and Excel spreadsheets. But well-used internships can be real career boosters.
They not only give you an insight into the world of work, but also help you to discover your interests, train your skills and build up a valuable network.
🔍 What do you really get out of an internship?
✅ 1st reality check instead of lecture hall theory
Studying is good - but an internship shows you how your knowledge works in the real world of work. You will often find that there are many tasks that you simply have to learn by doing them.
✅ 2. train soft skills
Teamwork, communication, time management, feedback culture - you don't learn all this in lectures, but in the office, in project meetings or on the customer phone.
✅ 3. professional orientation
You realize: "Wow, I'm really enjoying this!" or also: "This isn't for me at all." Both are valuable. Because the sooner you find your path (or rule it out), the clearer your direction will be.
✅ 4. set up a network
Many jobs are created through contacts - and internships are the perfect starting point. People who know you may remember you later when they apply or recommend you internally.
✅ 5. your résumé becomes stronger
HR managers love practical experience. Even a short internship block shows: You are committed, curious and ready to take on responsibility.
🧭 When is the right time?
It's never too early for an internship. Even after the first or second semester, you can get a taste of smaller companies, start-ups or NGOs. The closer you get to graduation, the more specifically you should focus on your desired field.
🛠 Tips for a successful internship
- Set yourself clear goals: What do you want to learn or try out?
- Actively ask for tasks - show initiative!
- Reflect regularly: What is going well? What is not?
- Get feedback - and give some.
- Stay in touch after the internship, e.g. via LinkedIn.
🎓 Conclusion: internships = career test run
Internships are like a test run for your later professional life - without risk, but with lots of potential. The more you try out, the more certain you become about what you want (and what you don't want).
So don't just use your time at university to study, but also to try things out. Your future self will thank you for it.

Regularly asked questions
How does it work with copyright?
Many documents from the university are protected by copyright, which means that you are not allowed to publish or sell them. With Studyquick, on the other hand, you are only using a "tool" for private use. Since we do not use this data to train our AI, all copyrights are respected and you can use Stuyquick without hesitation.
What's the difference to ChatGPT?
With ChatGPT you can't upload entire university scripts or lectures by default. So you only get standardized answers, as if you were using Google. Studyquick is "trained" exactly on your script, can answer much more specific questions and, unlike Google or ChatGPT, can also generate a ready-made study sheet or a mock exam.
Does this also work with formulas?
Basically yes, formulas are recognized and output by the AI. Please note, however, that your content should not be too formula- and graph-heavy, as the AI is designed for long texts.
Is Studyquick suitable for my degree program?
Studyquick is designed for degree programs with long and text-heavy scripts, such as medicine, business administration, economics and law. Click here now to find your degree program.
Is this also possible in English?
Yes, regardless of whether your material is in German or English, you can have it summarized by our AI. You can also set yourself whether your study sheet should be in German or English at the end. For example, you can turn your English script into a German study sheet.
