Mercedes-Benz Internships (Germany)
About this internship
Mercedes-Benz hosts thousands of student interns across its German sites, paying around EUR 2,000 monthly for three-to-six-month placements in vehicle engineering, software, design, production and business functions. Interns join real programs in the company’s electric and software transformation, with thesis cooperation and working-student roles as natural follow-ons.
Positions post continuously on the careers portal and popular departments fill months ahead. Enrolment for the full internship is generally required in Germany, and non-EU students should match their placement to German internship rules when planning.
