Your start as a student and career starter at Dieffenbacher

Are you looking for an interesting technical or commercial topic for your Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis? Whether in automation, product management, energy systems, technology or research and development, you’ll have the opportunity to shape processes and technologies in your specialist area.

Combine your theoretical knowledge with the practical experience you gain with us. As a student of mechanical engineering, wood technology, process engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, economics, business informatics or computer science, you’ll gain valuable insights into design, project planning, research and development, finance, controlling and human resources, purchasing and logistics or IT during an internship or practical semester.

A Dieffenbacher scholarship can help you remain financially independent during your studies. Starting with the first semester, you’ll receive monthly financial support for the duration of the standard period of study, depending on your grade point average. Upon completing your internship semester and your Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis at Dieffenbacher, you’ll receive an additional separate payment. You’ll also have the opportunity to gain experience during an assignment abroad at one of our subsidiaries.
