Frequently asked questions

The most common questions at a glance.

What is InternsValley?

InternsValley collects internships, working student jobs and thesis positions from company career pages across Germany and labels each one: how much German you need, what type of internship it is and whether it pays. It is made for international students who want to know quickly which roles fit them.

Can I really get an internship in Germany without speaking German?

Yes. Many tech companies, start-ups and international firms work in English. Our "English only" label means the posting does not ask for any German. "German is a plus" means it helps but is not required. Filter by "No German required" to see only those roles.

How do you decide the language label?

We read what the posting actually requires, not just the language it is written in. An English posting that asks for fluent German is labelled "German required (B2+)". When a posting does not say, the label is "Language unclear".

What is a Pflichtpraktikum?

A Pflichtpraktikum is a mandatory internship that your study regulations require. Companies don't have to pay minimum wage for it, and it doesn't count towards the working-day limit for non-EU students. A voluntary internship (freiwilliges Praktikum) is one you do on top of your studies.

Do internships in Germany have to pay minimum wage?

Voluntary internships longer than three months must pay the statutory minimum wage (€13.90 per hour in 2026). Mandatory internships and voluntary ones of up to three months during your studies are exempt. We convert the monthly pay in each posting to an hourly rate and check it against the legal minimum.

What is a working student job (Werkstudent)?

A paid part-time job next to your studies, usually up to 20 hours a week during the semester and more in the semester break. It lets you gain experience over a longer period while keeping student status for social insurance.

How often are new listings added?

Twice a day. We check more than 2,000 company career pages, add new roles and remove ones that have closed, so the listings stay current.

How do I apply?

Every listing links to the company's original posting, and you apply there. InternsValley never asks you for your CV and never charges students anything.

Can I save listings or get alerts?

Yes. Log in to bookmark listings and find them under Saved listings. You can also create an email alert for any search and we'll send you new matching roles.
