Program Overview 

German workers are the most productive in the world—that’s according to data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. A competitive mindset and direct style of communication that leads to consensus undoubtedly contributes to the success of the German economy—Europe’s largest—and offers the perfect environment for a rewarding internship.

In Berlin, students have the chance to experience German professional culture in the booming start-up and tech sectors, or at multinational companies or nonprofits.
Larger-than-life architecture, vibrant bars and restaurants, efficient public transportation, and friendly, English-speaking locals offer a compelling backdrop—and rich counterbalance—to a challenging internship experience.
