Here are some suggestions to find a lab in different institutes:
You can find several open positions here
There are many advertisements for student job both in campus and outside of the university. You can also send your application to the lab separately. Usually, the professors are open for student jobs in various institutes. If
you need help, please contact the academic advisors from Mainz
You’ll have to find an internship for both M1S2 and M2S2 semesters. The first internship is (minimum) 3 weeks long and will take place at the end of M1S2 (after the exams, usually around June/July). Most students conducted the internship in a laboratory in Strasbourg, however, you can also do the internship in another city/country and get the ECTS for it, if the topic roughly fits to the field of cardiovascular research. A list of labs which usually accept interns is provided here.
The internship in M2S2 is 6 months long and here, you will conduct the research for your master thesis. Most of us went to a new country for this time period. Start contacting interesting labs around march (of M1S2) with your CV and motivational letter. According to your destination country, you can apply for different scholarships.
For both internships, you have to fill out and sign the internship agreement from Unistra, found here. (In French and English). For the internship in M2S2, you will have to submit a short project outline and send it via mail to Prof. Schini-Kerth and Prof. Toti.
Many national health insurances also count as European insurances and cover basic issues. European students can keep their insurance of their home country if they have the European Health Insurance Card – but make sure to check the exact regulations! It might not cover all the costs → additional insurance necessary?
In Luxembourg, the health insurance by CNS costs 287.70€ (exact price depends on WS or SS). You can order the Luxembourgish insurance and also European insurance card from CCSS website. If you work in Luxembourg (e.g., student job), you will need to get a Luxembourgish health insurance/social security card (CNS) – it will be sent to you, so make sure they have your right address in their national register (you can notify them via mail if you move)! Here, you will find more information about the CNS.
In order to be insured in France (free?) we have to be enrolled in a French university AND have to have a valid address in France. You’ll be contacted via mail and asked to create an Amelie account. If you want to use your French insurance abroad, you need to apply for the European card but consider that YOU STILL NEED TO HAVE A FRENCH ADRESS! So even if you leave France for an exchange semester (e.g., in Mainz and the fourth semester), you have to keep a French address. After you register in the health insurance system, you have to make sure that your Amelie account is activated, and that you have access to it online. Then, you have to request the European health insurance card while you are still in France. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you change your address to an address abroad (they might cut your insurance without a warning!!).
If someone’s insurance is cut, there is a way to reactivate it: There is a form on the site of Assurance Maladie (S1106) which has to be filled out and sent back to the address of the Assurance Maladie in Strasbourg together with a copy of ID card, RIB and enrolment certificate. In this form, there is an option for people who don’t have a valid personal address anymore in France. It is possible to use the address of an organization. (So, I believe we could use the address of the Uni Strasbourg, however if we need to receive cards, I don’t know who would forward it to us from there.)
If you want to be insured by a German insurance company, DO NOT sign this doc (it was given to us in the beginning of M2S1 and prevented students from applying for German insurance)!! It prevents you from applying for a public (and cheaper) German insurance. You can get insured as a student in Germany with different companies such as AOK, TK, … Compare prices online to find the best and cheapest option for you.
Sometimes/in most cases covered by the institute/lab which are your working in it.
