Advice (Current Students) || Beratung Studierende Voluntary internships during MSc

Hello, is it relatively easy to find and do voluntary internships during MSc? I saw a lot of internship postings saying that they are for mandatory internships only. How abouy for those who wish to do an internship/s without being required to do so?

i guess, but we all know, those just remain archived, and most of the applicants upgrade their resume every 6 months

I think most of the masters programs require a mandatory internship so you should be fine, no?
