If you hold a degree in Computer Science, software engineering or related disciplines and you are looking for an internship opportunity in Germany, then you can discover this prestigious internship opportunity at Max Planck Institue

in Germany.

In this blog post we present to you vital information about the internships in CS at Max Planck Institutes.

 

Internships overview

The Max Planck Institutes for Informatics, Software Systems, and Security and Privacy, offer research internships in all areas of Computer Science. An internship at a Max Planck Institute is a way to pursue world-class research in computer science! The internships are also an excellent way to explore research or new research areas for the first time.


Internships are open all-year round to exceptional Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral students worldwide, as well as exceptional individuals from industry interested in gaining academic research experience in computer science. No German Language knowledge required.

 

Internship Coverage and Duration

All internships at Max Planck Institue are fully funded, covering living costs, housing and round trip travel costs. A typical internship lasts 12 to 14 weeks, but longer internships are possible.

 

Practical Benefits of Max Planck Institutes internship


• Renowned Research Community:

Max Planck Institutes offer an internationally renowned research community with world-class faculty spanning the entire spectrum of Computer Science.


• Hands-On Research Experience:

Interns gain direct, hands-on experience in cutting-edge computer science research. Successful internships often lead to coauthored publications at top academic conferences.


• Multicultural Environment:

The working environment is English-speaking, multicultural, and diverse.

 

Who Can Apply

• Internships are open to exceptional Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral students worldwide with a basic background in Computer Science (approximately the first three years of a standard Computer Science Bachelors program by the start of the internship) and an interest in CS research.
