The DAAD has the RISE program  which aims to promote student exchange to Germany in the fields of natural science, engineering, and life sciences. That includes: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science , Physics, Earth Sciences, Engineering, or a closely related field. Undergraduate students, who apply for these internships, are carefully matched with doctoral students and researchers from German universities of applied sciences. These internships can be as short as 10 weeks and as long as 3 months. These internships also come with a plethora of funding from the DAAD, which is mainly funding by the German government, and not to mention a particularly amazing scholarship from Mitacs for qualifying students as well.
