The Humboldt Internship Program, run by the Humboldt International Campus as part of the International Department, matches qualified international students with three-month, English-language internships in HU research projects and in start-ups affiliated with Humboldt Innovation/Science & Startups. Internships run for twelve weeks at 30–35 hours per week in summer 2027 and take place in person in Berlin.
Hosting costs nothing: the program office handles international recruitment, screens applications against formal criteria and manages every administrative step from application to arrival, including enrolment, visa, health insurance and accommodation. The academic hosts in the research and start-up projects can concentrate on their work with the students, and postdocs and PhD candidates in the team are also welcome to get involved in supervising the interns and to practise valuable mentoring skills in the process.
If you have existing partnerships with research groups abroad, you can invite students of all academic levels to join your team through the Humboldt Internship Program.
Researchers from all departments and start-up founders are invited to submit their placements via a short online form. If the specific tasks for Summer 2027 are not yet defined, a description of the working field and of the desired skills and qualities is sufficient. The submission deadline is 5 October.
