Is this a working student role or an internship?

This is an internship (Praktikum). The hours and pay depend on whether it's a mandatory placement from your study programme or a voluntary one.

How many hours a week can I work?

Working students in Germany may work up to 20 hours per week during the semester and full-time during the semester breaks. Going over 20 hours in term time can cost you the working-student health-insurance rate.

What can I earn in a Tech role in Dresden?

The employer hasn't published a figure. Working student pay in Germany usually runs from about €13 to €20 per hour for Tech roles, depending on city and experience. Use the salary tools to estimate your take-home pay.

Do I need to speak German for this role?

Yes — this listing flags German as a requirement, so you'll be expected to work in German. Roles that accept English are tagged separately.

Can international students apply?

Yes. International students, including those from outside the EU, can take working student roles within the 140 full / 280 half-day annual work limit (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). Confirm the conditions on your residence permit before you apply.

Working student essentials

What this Tech internship in Dresden means for you: the pay rules, the social contributions, and what international students should check before applying.

Weekly hours

Internships have no 20-hour cap, but a voluntary internship longer than three months generally has to pay at least the German minimum wage. Mandatory internships in your study programme are exempt.

Working student rules

Social contributions

Mandatory internships are largely exempt from social contributions. Voluntary internships are treated like regular employment once they run long enough, so contributions usually apply.

Check your insurance

International students

Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
