Have you done well in your studies, are open-minded and want to improve your chances on the job market? How about an internship with a global player in Germany or an internship abroad in an internationally successful business company and the support of a promising scholarship program?

Regardless of whether you are still in your bachelor's degree, in the gap year between your bachelor's and master's degree, or have already started your master's or doctoral studies, MLP has the perfect scholarship program for your career advancement.

THE BEST – What the program offers you

Particularly in the gap year between Bachelor and Master, internships abroad are a profitable opportunity to gain initial work experience and thus enhance your CV. But even if you don't yet know exactly where your journey will take you after your bachelor's degree.

The financial service provider MLP supports interested students in their search for an internship at home or abroad and mediates between well-known companies and you. You will be networked with personnel decision-makers from influential business companies in the areas of logistics, finance or media, among others, and will receive exclusive job placement.

Internships abroad not only help you find a job, but also help you get to know foreign countries, cultures and people. With the Join the Best scholarship you are financially secure and can bridge the gap year.

The scholarship covers the costs of flights, accommodation, an MLP insurance package and an MLP credit card. This means you are completely prepared for your stay abroad.

In addition, every participant in the Join the Best program receives applicant coaching with valuable tips and advice for a successful start to their professional life. More than 100 domestic and international internships and scholarships with global players are awarded every year.

JOIN – This is how you can apply

All German-speaking bachelor's graduates, full-time MBAs and doctoral students who are planning a master's degree after the gap year can receive the Join the Best scholarship.

Applications are made through a multi-stage selection process for internships at home and abroad, lasting two to six months. After your successful application, you will be invited to assessment centers for a pre-selection and the final decision and from there you will be networked directly with global players.

All applicants who make it to the assessment centers will also be included in the Join the Best finalist network and can benefit from exclusive job placements as well as nationwide workshops, seminars and events.

The current application deadline for internships starting in spring 2015 runs until December 12, 2014 . So take your chance, apply and get started!
