Can I do a three-month internship in Germany and will they provide an STP (Student Training Program) for that?
Yes, you can do a three-month internship in Germany. If you are studying outside Germany, you can apply for a "Visum zur Absolvierung eines studienbezogenen Praktikums EU" (Visa for a Study-Related Internship in the EU).
To qualify:
- Internship agreement: Must be confirmed with a German company.
- Field relevance: The internship should match your academic background.
- Support: The company must commit in writing to cover your living and travel costs.
"STP" (Student Training Program) is not a standard visa term in Germany, but many companies offer structured internships with training components.
Visa requirements and processes are subject to change. If you need help with the application process, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
