What this means for you

  • This is a voluntary internship (freiwilliges Praktikum). If it lasts up to 3 months alongside your studies, the minimum wage does not apply. If it is longer than 3 months, you are entitled to €13.90 per hour from the first day.
  • Non-EU students: voluntary internships count toward your work limit of 140 full days (or 280 half days) per year — even if they are unpaid.
  • German at B2 level or higher is required. If you're still learning, look for listings labelled “German is a plus” or “English only”.
  • EU/EEA and Swiss students have no work-day limit and can work like German students.

General information, not legal advice. Rules can change and your situation may differ — check with your university, the employer or your Ausländerbehörde.
