Intern Abroad in Germany

With an internship in Germany, you’ll experience the German workplace first-hand. Start your morning with a cup coffee and a fresh Brötchen (bread roll). Commute to work as locals do using Germany’s extensive train and bus system. Spend the day collaborating with and learning from your coworkers before heading out to explore your host city with friends in the evening.

Internships in Germany open doors of opportunities to grow professionally and personally. Spend the work week developing résumé-worthy skills and spend the weekends exploring all that Germany has to offer.

“When you get to Berlin, you give it a little piece of yourself, and when you leave, you take some of it with you.”
Veronica B. • University of Southern California • Berlin – Internship
