Internships

The Munich Documentation Center offers internships for school students who would like to gain work experience and for university students who are required to do an internship as part of their study program. Please note that all internships are unpaid. After completing an internship, interns will receive a detailed testimonial. Unfortunately, we can only offer a limited number of internships, so not all applicants will receive a place.

Mandatory internships for university students

The Munich Documentation Center offers university students studying a relevant subject an opportunity to do an internship with us. You will gain an insight into the work of a cultural and educational institution, particularly in the areas of research, outreach, exhibitions, communications, events programs, and library. You will work closely with our staff.

To apply for an internship you should fulfil the following conditions:

  • You have completed at least two semesters of a study program in a relevant subject (Modern and Contemporary History, Public History, and other branches of history; Political Science, Cultural Studies, or related disciplines)
  • You are interested in contemporary history, the culture of remembrance, and the topics addressed by the Munich Documentation Center
  • You can provide evidence that you are required by the study or examination regulations to do an internship relevant to your studies as part of the study program.


Mandatory internships are unpaid. Every intern will receive a detailed testimonial.

Please submit your application by one of the following deadlines:
March 31, June 30, September 30, December 31.

We will review all applications received by these deadlines and then invite candidates we consider suitable to attend a personal interview. For organizational reasons, some months may elapse between submitting your application and starting your internship. We therefore advise you to apply as early as possible.

Applications should contain the following:

  • Letter of motivation
  • Details of when you wish to do your internship (the length of the internship is determined by the examination regulations)
  • CV giving details of your study focus and key activities
  • High school graduation certificate (Abitur), training certificate, and, where relevant, employers’ references
