What requirements must be met?
The internships in Germany are offered abroad exclusively through the respective IAESTE national committees, which in turn find internships for German university interns. The IAESTE programme offers no internships to individual applicants outside this procedure. Applicants must be enrolled at a university throughout the internship period.
Language skills
German language requirements vary significantly; some employers expect interns to have a good knowledge of German, others only basic German if the applicant is also proficient in English. In most cases, interns only need a good command of English.
Application deadline
Applicants should contact the IAESTE committee in their country of origin to find out the closing date for applications.
