work placement semester
Explanation:
Another workable translation for the phrase.

Student internship is used by some corporations/organisations - basically it's the same thing seen from two different perspectives: work placement semester (university perspective - students are temporarily 'out') and student internship (employers' perspective - students temporarily 'in' their workforce).

Ein Praxissemester besteht meist aus einem Praktikum bei einem Unternehmen des entprechenden Fachgebiets. es muss nicht unbedingt ein Auslandsemester sein... In der Mehrzahl der Fälle sind es sogar \"Inlandspraktika\"...
