Application Process & Tips for Preparation

Our requirements

For a working student position or internship, we look for excellent academic records. Preferably you will have completed at least two semesters and will be available for a minimum of two to three months. Ideally, you have already gained some practical experience in related fields. We recommend that you apply around three months before you want to start working with us, however, we encourage you to check our website on a regular basis as we frequently offer student positions also on short notice.

Your application documents

Please apply via our website. Our application tool makes it easy to upload all your data for fast processing. Please bear in mind that only complete applications including cover letter, CV and references can be processed. If you are applying for an internship, please tell us about your desired working dates and preferred location, or whether you are flexible. This information allows us to directly allocate your application and to check the full range of opportunities available. 
If you are interested in more than one position, a single online application is sufficient. We automatically compare each incoming application with the job requirements in other areas.

Selection process

For most student positions, there is no fixed start date, so you are free to apply all year round. If your application has sparked our interest, we will invite you to a face-to-face or virtual meeting, depending on the situation. Our aim is to get to know you and to get an idea of your existing expertise as well as give you the chance to learn more about Horváth. After the interview, if both your and our expectations align, you will receive an offer to join our team.
