BMW Group Internship 2026–2027
Overview
BMW Group, the maker of BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, runs an internship programme for 2026-2027 aimed at university students who want practical experience alongside their studies. Interns become fully integrated members of professional teams, contribute to ongoing projects and receive regular supervision, mentorship and feedback. Placements are available across production, research and development, information technology, engineering and corporate functions.
The programme includes several pathways. University internships are open to enrolled students, whether compulsory or voluntary as part of their studies.

Subject areas include mechanical, automotive, electrical and software engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence, data science, production, manufacturing, research and development, information technology, supply chain, purchasing, logistics, finance, accounting, human resources, marketing, communications and business administration. Available roles vary by location and business needs.
