Students

Linguistic and cultural competency is a key factor in a successful internship experience. Internships with the MIT-Germany Program are embedded in a language and culture curriculum.

The MIT-Germany Managing Director works with each student to develop a plan of study for German language and culture before, during, and after the internship.

You will need to submit

1. Official Transcript. Please have an official transcript sent directly to the MIT-Germany Program office.
2. Resume. Host companies and institutions require an updated resume from candidates.
3. Tailored letters. After deciding which companies you would like to apply to (with the help of the MIT-Germany Program Coordinator), please write a brief (one page) description of what you hope to achieve with an internship. Companies want to know your background, experience, research interests, and how you fit into their research environment.
4. Recommendations. You will need to submit two written recommendations. One recommendation should be from an MIT professor and the other should be from a former supervisor.
