Our internships: FAQ

How long are the internships at Voith?

That depends on the kind of internship:

The length of a mandatory internship is determined by your degree’s exam and study regulations.
A voluntary internship can last up to a maximum of three months.

If you’d like to gain more on-the-job experience and do a longer internship, you can combine a mandatory internship with a voluntary internship.

Can I write my bachelor’s or master’s thesis after the internship?

Yes. We strive to offer our student employees suitable thesis topics. Ideally, you’ll already talk to your department during your internship and discuss possible topics for your thesis. Or you apply to one of our open opportunities.

What’s the application process for a student internship?

After you’ve uploaded your application, we’ll acknowledge receipt of your application by email. A few days later, we’ll get in touch personally.
