Fully integrated – right from the start
As an intern, you should be able to utilize your academic knowledge as effectively as possible. This is why we make you a full-fledged member of the team, involve you in projects and processes and assign you responsibility for challenging assignments. Depending on your operational area, you may take part in customer meetings, for example. You benefit from flexible working hours, modern office design and our in-house catering and sports programs.
Plan enough time
For preliminary planning and preparation of your internship, you should send us your complete application (including information on the desired operational area, internship period and location) three to four months before you plan on beginning your internship. In order to form an in-depth impression of what work life is truly like, ideal candidates should schedule at least four to six months for the internship itself. Following this period, you will be able to take on your own assignments and work on projects independently. We will help you achieve this goal step by step. Regardless of your location.
National and international internships
We offer internships at our German locations in Coburg, Bamberg, Würzburg, Wuppertal and Berlin. The experience you gain here forms the ideal basis for a follow-on internship of at least five to six months at one of our international branch offices like Ostrava, Gothenburg or Detroit, for example. Depending on the country of deployment, we offer you help arranging a visa, finding an apartment and making travel arrangements.
Fair compensation
We offer compensation of € 650 per month for internships and theses at our German locations. Students whose university or residence is over 60 kilometers (one-way) from their workplace receive an additional living allowance of € 200. Students taking part in an international internship will receive a regional-specific cost of living allowance.
Thesis support
Ideally, your internship with us will provide you with a topic for your thesis. In some cases, we even assign Bachelor’s, Master’s and other degree program theses directly. You decide whether you wish to apply directly for one of our thesis topic openings. Or send us an speculative application outlining your desired topic. If your argument is convincing, we will provide you with the same compensation and conditions we offer our interns.
Starting requirements
In order to work as a student at one of our locations in Germany, you must be currently enrolled at a university. You can work with us both during the semester – a minimum of eight and a maximum of 20 hours a week – and during the semester break. Here, the maximum number of weekly hours is 40. Apply for one of our current working student job vacancies or send a speculative application here. Remember to include your desired area of interest and Brose location in Germany.
Dual-track studies program
In cooperation with the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW), you have the option of obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Science in select degree programs as part of a practical dual-track training program with Brose. Or opt for a course of study in one of two areas of specialization offering in-depth practical experience as part of our cooperation with the German state of Bavaria and the Coburg University of Applied Sciences. Whatever you decide: the dual-track training program is an outstanding way to link extensive practical experience with an academic career path.
Application process for Students
As soon as we receive all your application documents (covering letter, résumé, certificates and references), we will send you a confirmation by email.
