Any questions left? Let us know by sending an E-mail to internship@adidas-Group.com

1. What qualifications do I need?

   For an internship at our adidas Headquarters you must be a student who is actively enrolled in a University or University of Applied Science for the duration of the internship.
   
   Besides being actively enrolled at a University, you should have international or intercultural experience, local language skills, and very good English skills. Also, a consumer oriented focus, analytical and logical thinking as well as involvement in extracurricular activities are qualifications.

2. How important is my grade average?

   Grades alone are not the decisive criterion when it comes to taking on apprentices. Moreover the overall profile is important to us. We would also like to learn what do you do outside school (e.g., work placements, part-time jobs, social engagement, membership in associations, etc.). So don‘t forget to let us know.

3. Where do internships take place?

   Internship opportunities are one of our most prolific student programs worldwide. Most of them are realised in our German headquarter in Herzogenaurach. Besides, there are openings in locations throughout the world and in almost all disciplines. Please note that you have to arrange and pay for your own accommodation. However, as soon as you receive the offer of an internship and accept it, we will send you a list of suggested accommodations in the area. This should help you to find a place quickly.
   
   PS: We are also happy to tell you more about living in Herzogenaurach, Nuremberg or Erlangen.

4. How many interns are hired each year?

   The number of interns varies each year based on the demand of the departments.

5. Are the internships limited to one department?

   Yes, they are. You can tell us in which department you would like to complete your internship, however we cannot promise that the internship will take place in that department. However, the close collaboration with other functional areas will give you a good insight into other departments as well.

6. Can I complete several internships?

   Only one internship may be completed at each location of adidas.

7. How long do the internships last?

   Internships at our headquarters in Germany always last six months. Shorter internships are not offered. The internship period cannot be divided up. And the advertised time frames are set.

8. Is it possible to intern in my Gap year?

   Sure. If you decide to complete an internship between finishing your Bachelor's degree and starting your Masters, this is possible without student status. Please provide information in your application about your planned Master studies and the University or University of Applied Science at which you plan to complete your studies. However this regulation only applies to EU citizens, due to work permit regulations in Germany.
   

9. Are the internships at adidas paid?

   Yes, the internships at adidas are paid. The salary itself varies by location or experience.

10. What is the dress code?

    We do not specify any particular dress code. It is important to us that you feel comfortable!

11. What are the standard working hours and how much holiday will I have?

    The working hours are 39 hours per week. Vacation days and holidays vary by location. In our Germany locations you are entitled to 14 days of holiday during a six-month internship.

12. Are internships available for foreign students?

    Absolutely. In Germany, we have many interns from all over the world. However, you must be enrolled as a student for the whole period of the internship in order to obtain a work permit. We will be happy to support you in this process with the paperwork, however we do not cover the relocation- or visa fees. Our corporate language is English, but in some departments within our Germany locations, German skills are required.

13. Can I prepare my degree thesis in cooperation with adidas?

    Yes it is possible to write a degree thesis in combination with an internship at our adidas Headquarters, however the decision if a thesis can be supported is always made by the respective department. Please mention in your application that you are considering preparing your degree thesis with us.
