In this blogpost, Beatrice Mah shares her internship experience at Federal Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt), Germany. Students of the  Environmental Pollution Management (Ecotoxicology)  Program complete an 8-week internship each year, the so-called “AMEO”. The AMEO is performed either at an external university, governmental or industrial research institute  where students learn to apply the competences achieved during their study. Students also use this opportunity to travel and explore Germany.
