    Working student essentials

    What this Logistics internship in Berlin 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.
