Every year, around 115 young people from 28 countries have the opportunity to take part in the International Parliamentary Scholarship (IPS) program in Berlin. IPS offers recent college graduates a 15-week internship in the office of a Member of the Bundestag. Alongside the internship there is an academic program organized by Berlin’s internationally renowned universities and the German political foundations. With all of that, plus the fun of getting to know people from other nations, a unique experience awaits you in the exciting and vibrant German capital.
