Check eligibility

In short

Three Max Planck Institutes in Germany run a joint, fully funded internship programme in computer science research for students worldwide. Interns get a monthly stipend, housing and a round-trip ticket. Summer applications close on 1 November each year; for other start dates, apply at least five months ahead.

Who can apply

Nationality
The institutes invite exceptional students worldwide and state no nationality condition, so a Tunisian student can apply.
Studies
Bachelor's, master's or doctoral students, or industry applicants, with roughly the first three years of a computer science bachelor's completed by the start date.
Timing
Summer internships (May to August) need an application by 1 November of the previous year. Other start dates need an application at least five months ahead.

Funding and what it does not cover

All internships are fully funded. Interns receive a monthly stipend that comfortably covers living costs, and the institutes pay housing and a round trip between the intern's home and the institute. The amount is not published.

Covered

  • A monthly stipend for living costs
  • Housing during the internship
  • Round-trip travel from home to the institute
