How we decide that English is enough

Many postings in Germany are written in English but still expect German in the team. So we don't go by the language a posting is written in: we read what it requires. “English only” means the posting says English is enough. “German is a plus” means English is enough to apply and German is an advantage.

If a posting is in English and doesn't mention German at all, we label it “German is a plus” and say that this was inferred. Positions that ask for fluent or business German (B2 or higher) never appear on this page.

Where English-speaking internships are

Most English-speaking roles are at start-ups, scale-ups, research institutes and international companies — especially in Berlin and Munich, followed by Hamburg and Frankfurt. Software, data, product, marketing and finance roles are the most likely to work in English.

Even when German isn't required, basic German helps you in daily life and makes you stand out. Mentioning a German course in your application is a plus.

Frequently asked questions

Can I do an internship in Germany without speaking German?

Yes. Many companies — especially start-ups and international firms in Berlin, Munich and Hamburg — work in English. On InternsValley, every listing on this page states in the original posting that English is enough or that German is only an advantage.

What does “German is a plus” mean?

English is enough to apply and to do the job, but German skills are an advantage. It is not a requirement.

Are English-speaking internships paid?

Most are. Voluntary internships longer than three months and working-student jobs must pay at least the minimum wage (€13.90 per hour in 2026). Mandatory internships (Pflichtpraktikum) are exempt from the minimum wage.
