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, analytical and logical thinking as well as involvement in extracurricular activities and being consumer-obsessed are required.

2. HOW DO I APPLY FOR AN internship?

   We always recruit around 6 months in advance of the start dates, which are March & September. The recruitment window is always open for a limited period of time and the exact time frame will be communicated on our social media channels.
   
   Applications are only possible via the career portal. Applications send by e-mail or post cannot be considered. For the application you need your CV and motivation letter tailored to the role you apply for. To us it is important to get to know you better, therefore feel free to get creative in your application. Please apply in the same language as the job posting.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. How important is my grade average?

   Grades alone are not the decisive criterion when it comes to taking on interns. 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, sports, etc.). So don‘t forget to let us know.

6. Where do internships take place?

   Internship opportunities are one of our most prolific student programs worldwide. Most of them are in our German headquarter in Herzogenaurach. Besides, there are openings in locations throughout the world and in almost all disciplines. Please note that you must arrange and pay for your own accommodation. However, as soon as you receive the internship offer and accept it, we will send you a list of suggested accommodations in the area. This should help you to find a place quickly.
