How to Intern Abroad in Germany
Prepare for an Internship
Set goals
Setting clear goals will help you get the most out of your internship in Germany. Here are a few tips to help you have a more intentional time abroad:
- Figure out what you want to work on. Whether that’s a specific skill, such as public speaking, or leadership, or a soft skill like active listening, map out what the subject is and plan active steps to help you hone the skill.
- Research potential roles you would like to pursue and see which internships are available now. This internship can be treated like a practice job, so make note of what you do and don’t like and apply it to your career search.
- Think about who you are personally and where you’d like to head. Think about how living in Germany will enhance your cultural understanding, empathy, and critical thinking.
Understand the benefits
Interning in Germany offers numerous benefits that can enhance both your professional and personal life:
- Professional development. Between gaining hands-on experience in an international global economy and expanding your professional network, there are plenty of gains for your resume and skills.
- Cultural exposure. Germany offers an incredible opportunity to experience great cultural diversity and tradition. The country has many languages you can practice, too, including their own, German.

Things to know
Here are a few additional tips to ensure a smooth and successful internship experience in Germany:
- Visa and VIP paperwork. Research and secure your visa well in advance if you're from outside the EU, as requirements can vary. Be sure to check with your program for any additional paperwork or official documentation needed.
- Language. Basic German proficiency is helpful, although many companies use English. Keep in mind that most directional signage across the country is in German.
- Cost of living. Germany's cost of living is generally lower than in the U.S., but budgeting is still essential. Many interns find roommates to save on housing expenses if accommodation isn't provided.
