Student Programs

  • American citizen undergraduate/graduate students may be eligible for various Department of State student programs, including internships and fellowships both in the U.S. and overseas. Information is available at www.careers.state.gov/student/
    American citizen students in good academic standing are eligible for internships at the Department of State and at U.S. Embassies and consulates around the world. Intern duties and responsibilities vary according to post or office assignment, from scientific/technical tasks to administrative projects to logistical support. While there are many opportunities for overseas internships, it is difficult to anticipate the needs of our embassies and consulates. There are several factors that influence whether or not a particular embassy or consulate will host an intern. Therefore, we are unable to provide a precise listing of overseas opportunities.
  • EC citizen undergraduate students matriculated at major public universities in Berlin may be eligible to participate in the Foreign National Student Intern Program at the U.S. Embassy Berlin. Other overseas U.S. Embassies and/or American Consulates General may have similar programs for non-American citizen students.
    See also our employment website for current internship opportunities.
  • The U.S. Commercial Service Germany offers internship opportunities throughout the year at the U.S. Embassy in Berlin and the U.S. Consulates General in Duesseldorf, Frankfurt, and Munich.
