Summer Internship OpportunitiesAn internship program for students interested in summer internships in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. Please follow us on Facebook! Request to be added to the closed group. The Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures offers all Harvard students a unique educational experience in a German speaking country. During the summers, students from all concentrations can be an intern in a company, an organization or a university and be totally immersed in German language and contemporary German society. On the job, students learn from their daily contacts with co-workers about aspects of life in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland not dealt with in textbooks within the walls of a university. The internship allows the students to integrate their expertise in their area of concentration with their knowledge of German language and culture. While speaking German is not a prerequisite for participating in an internship – it is certainly an advantage. The academic and German language classes at the department prepare students for life in a German speaking country. By working in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland at a German subsidiary of an American/International company, a German institute or non-profit, students can explore a career, gain valuable work experience in their chosen field, and develop a professional network in addition to improving upon their German language skills. The internship program introduces the interns to the world-renowned system of education, the dual education system as well as new technologies and the German way of thinking about work, family, politics, history... you name it!

The internship program for students in Germany, Austria or Switzerland offers internships for all concentrators during the summer months. All are welcome to apply and the applications are on a rolling base. However, there are deadlines established by companies and organizations – as well as by Harvard’s office of Career Services for funding. Students will be kept informed through Facebook and by directly contacting the Director of the Work-Abroad Program Ruth Sondermann (sonderm@g.harvard.edu). Post-Grad OpportunitiesHighly qualified final-year undergraduate students or those who have received an undergraduate degree in any discipline may apply for the DAAD Scholarship for a full Master's degree program at a German university, for study at a German university as part of a postgraduate or Master's degree program completed in the home country, or other fellowships and traineeships.
