Terminology
Internship
Practical activity in an institution outside the university (e.g. company, research institution), which is carried out over several weeks or months - usually full-time. Some degree courses require a compulsory internship. Internships as part of the degree program, i.e. curricular practical exercises, are generally not considered practical experience in the narrower sense and are therefore not listed on the CV.
Working student activity
Practical activity in a company that is carried out over a longer period of time (sometimes several years). In contrast to an internship, the time required here is only a maximum of 20 hours per week, possibly more during the semester break. The activity is usually related to the field of study or later job.
"Hiwi job" (student assistant)
Practical work at a university for a few hours per week - comparable to a working student job.
Part-time job/holiday job
Practical activity that is carried out for a few hours per week or only for a short time during the semester break (possibly also full-time). Often not directly related to the field of study, but simpler (auxiliary) work.
