Application process for students
Internships, working students, final projects.
01 All our open positions can be found in our Online Job Market. To hit the ground running, it is best to apply three to four months before your planned start date using our online application form. You can find it at the end of each job posting. Please note that we are not currently accepting general applications.
Good to know: In many cases, it still makes sense to apply four weeks before the start date, as some assignments are planned on short notice, depending on the field.
02 We look forward to receiving your complete online application:
- CV
- Final transcript from school
- Where applicable, your bachelor’s degree certificate
- Where applicable, documentation of the duration of your required internship
- Current enrollment documentation
- University transcripts and other records
After you submit your documents, you will receive a prompt confirmation of receipt by e-mail. We will try to provide feedback on your application as soon as possible after that.
03 Next up we invite you to an interview. Most of the interviews initially take place via teams. If we discover that we are a good fit for each other, we will invite you to an interview on site which also allows you to get the know your future team.
04 Once you have accepted our offer, we will plan your individual starting date together and your contract will be sent to you. However, an internship at MTU should last at least eight weeks. In most cases, a period of several months is planned for a working student position.
05 To make your start at MTU as uncomplicated as possible, we will take you on a short flight through MTU at our Welcome on Board event.

Everyone is welcome. People at MTU.
We asked some of our students why they enjoy working at MTU.
Noëmi, working student in our Employer Branding and HR Marketing team
"My work in Employer Branding and HR Marketing at MTU is giving me valuable insight into professional life. I especially like the broad range of tasks involved and the high level of independence and personal responsibility I have on various projects. What I particularly appreciate about my team is their willingness to always have an open ear for colleagues with questions and concerns and the appreciation they show for my work. I have flexible working hours and the option to work from home, which really helps me balance working and my studies."
Berk, working student in structural mechanics with a focus on material models, probability, and methods at MTU
"As a working student in structural mechanics at MTU, I work in the hands-on technical part of aviation. Right now, I’m using FEM programs to analyze structures made of composite fiber materials. My work is interesting and varied. In addition to research, I also develop tools to facilitate advance design with this material. The practical experience is also benefiting my studies."
Myren, intern in our aerodynamics department
"An internship at MTU after I finished secondary school sparked my fascination with technical connections, mathematically solvable problems, and many exciting working fields derived from them. That’s why I decided to study mechanical engineering, and now I’m back at MTU as an intern, this time in the aerodynamics department. What I especially like about my work is getting to work on cutting-edge technology every day, along with the freedom we're given and the open corporate culture. Working toward the shared aim of ever safer and more efficient aviation motivates me in everything I do each day."
Nikolas, first an intern and now a student writing his master’s thesis in structural mechanics at MTU
During my time as a student writing my master’s thesis in the structural mechanics department at MTU, I can get involved in sophisticated and challenging projects. I really like the unique combination of challenging tasks, excellent support from co-workers, and the close connection between research and industry. It’s interesting to be a part of a team working at the leading edge of technological development.
Julian, first an intern in the area of structural mechanics for turbine blades and now a student writing his master’s thesis with us
“During my internship at MTU, I got to know an innovative and multifaceted company in a highly sophisticated and complex field of technology.
This gave me the chance to apply the theoretical content of my studies of aerospace engineering and take them further and explore other thematic fields as well.
My internship was a really valuable addition for me, since I learned a lot and got to have new experiences, which brought me a big step closer to my future career goals. I was already interested in writing my final project in cooperation with MTU while I was doing my internship. When I asked about it, potential departments and topics were discussed with me and then feelers were put out to see what would be a good fit. After initial talks, we agreed on a topic that would add value for MTU while also being really interesting to me.
Now I have the chance to get to know a new department and familiarize myself with additional subjects.”
Alexander, first an intern and now a student writing his master’s thesis in our IT unit CAE-IT/Software Develop-ment
“I’m so excited to work in software development at MTU, since it offers the unique opportunity to shape the intersection between advanced engine technologies and forward-looking digital solutions with creativity and a focus on solutions. I also value the opportunity to help shape the future of aviation in a diverse and open team where I can share my passion for technology and aviation with like-minded people.”
