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 Finance role in Munich?

This listing states €2,116/mo. As a working student you keep more of it thanks to reduced social contributions — see the estimated monthly take-home pay above.

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 120 full / 240 half-day annual work limit. Confirm the conditions on your residence permit before you apply.

Working student essentials

What this Finance internship means for you in Germany — pay rules, 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.

Track your hours

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 120 full or 240 half days per year. A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
