Student Internships

Student Internships at ESA are placements lasting between three and six months across a wide range of technical and non-technical domains. They are aimed at university students, preferably in their final or second-to-last year of a Master’s level course, who remain enrolled for the internship duration. Internships are unpaid but a monthly allowance is granted, and interns join international teams at ESA establishments with access to on-site services and social activities.
