Voluntary Services FSJ & BFD

Voluntary Services FSJ & BFD

If you want to try things out after school, gain experience or do something different for a certain period of time, a voluntary service is just the thing for you. FSJ or Bundesfreiwilligendienst is possible in numerous facilities of the clinic. The large number of clinics, institutes, laboratories, administrative and service areas open up interesting fields of application.

The Voluntary Social Year FSJ is counted as a waiting period for studies and is recognised by many educational institutions as an internship. You can do voluntary service until you are 27 years old. The application for the FSJ at the University Hospital Tübingen is made by the Organisation Internationaler Bund (IB).
