Has anyone worked longer than the required duration of a mandatory internship?
Hi everyone,
I’m curious whether anyone in Germany has experienced something similar.
During my Master’s, I received a university letter stating that I had to complete **900 hours of mandatory internship** to compensate for missing credits from my three-year Bachelor’s degree, plus another **500-hour mandatory internship** related to my thesis.
I always had the 900-hour requirement in mind, and some of my batchmates had also completed around that amount. Based on this letter, I later completed a **5-month internship, around 800 hours**, which my employer treated as a mandatory internship.
Only afterwards did I realize that the 900-hour requirement had already been fulfilled through previous practical experience from my home country, meaning that for this particular internship I technically only needed the 500 hours.
So I completed the required hours but stayed around **two months longer under the same internship contract**.
Has anyone had a similar experience where they completed more hours than were actually required for a mandatory internship? How was the extra period treated by the employer or university afterwards?
I’m mainly interested in **personal experiences**, especially from international students who have already completed the internship.
