If I do not get a job immediately, can I still do internships in Ireland/Germany?

Yes, you can do internships even if you don’t secure a job immediately after your studies in both Germany and Ireland.

- Germany: International students can pursue internships during or after their studies. Mandatory internships (part of your course) are exempt from work limits, while voluntary internships count toward your annual work allowance (typically 120 full or 240 half days). If you exceed these limits, special approval is required. Rules are subject to change.

- Ireland: International students can take internships during their course or after graduation. The Third Level Graduate Scheme typically allows up to 24 months for internships or job searching after completing your degree, depending on your visa. Policies are subject to change.
