Paid Internship for Journalism Students at Deutsche Welle in Germany

Internships with Deutsche Welle are possible in all departments in which journalistic work is carried out: DW-RADIO, DW-TV, DW-WORLD.DE, DW-AKADEMIE and the communications department. The placement generally lasts one to two months and begins on the first working day of a month.

Deadline: in Bonn: all year round; in Berlin: October for the period between January and June; April for the period between July and December

Deutsche Welle places great emphasis on involving the trainee as much as possible in an editorial department’s day-to-day work. The more practical experience the trainee already has, the better his or her chances of being allowed to carry out journalistic or editorial tasks. The interns will be paid according to their performance and level of involvement, starting at 310 Euros per month.

Eligibility

• be at the earliest after their third semester of studies

• Curriculum vitae with photograph
• Certificate of matriculation
• Details of previous practical experience
• Written, published samples of your work (max. 3-5) - no electronic media
• Proof of foreign language abilities, if a placement in a foreign language department is desired (at DW-TV: if your native language is Arabic, English or Spanish, you may also apply for a placement in the respective department.)
