Is my six-month internship a paid internship in Germany/UAE?

It depends on the country and type of internship.

In Germany:
- Mandatory internships (part of your course) are not legally required to be paid, but many companies offer stipends of €400 - €1,200/month. - Voluntary internships (not required by your curriculum) longer than three months must pay at least the minimum wage - €13.90/hour (as of January 2026).

In UAE:
- Internships can last up to six months or the duration of your studies. - Many companies offer paid internships, with typical stipends of AED 3,000 - 5,000/month.
