Internship as a Visiting Associate
As a visiting associate, you will take on all the tasks of a consultant. As part of an internship of at least 12 weeks, you will be deployed like an Associate and will be a fully-fledged part of a project team. You will support the team in carrying out analyses and research, take responsibility for individual work packages and develop new solutions with the team. Whenever possible, you will experience our day-to-day work in direct contact with our clients on site. And because we are convinced that you will quickly make a real contribution to value, we will also remunerate your work attractively.
During your studies, in addition to an internship, you will also have the opportunity to join us as a working student.
With a Bachelor’s degree as a Junior Associate
As a Junior Associate, you will be part of our project teams from day one and work like an Associate. However, you will have more experienced consultants at your side. Unlike Associates, your work is initially limited in time: After 2 years, we encourage you to complete your training with a Master’s degree. Of course, we will support you in this – because we want you to return to us afterwards with the new experience you have gained.

Candy´s path to becoming an associate at undconsorten
Jakub's path from Visiting Associate to Associate at undconsorten
Of course we are. We are looking for talents from all disciplines. In order to be able to advise our clients at a high professional level, a mixture of different academic backgrounds and perspectives is important to us. Applicants‘ backgrounds are already taken into account during the interview process, so you won’t be at a disadvantage here.
We can customize your work schedule. As a rule, a certain rotation soon emerges. This allows you to plan your time and gives us a better overview of which tasks are best taken on by which working student.
In principle, you will be responsible for several projects at the same time.
At undconsorten, we use the interviewer-led case format. This means that you will be asked specific questions and given time to analyze and answer them. You can find lots of exercises and examples on the Internet.
Yes, we look forward to receiving your reapplication. For a successful reapplication, you should have gained more practical experience since the rejection and/or be able to demonstrate further academic achievements. Experience has shown that visible personal development occurs at the earliest after a period of 12 to 18 months.
If you have been accepted by us and start with us, you will be sent 3 books to browse through in preparation. This will hopefully make it easier for you to get started.
Interviews are the core of our regular recruiting days. We want to find out as much as possible about you through them. It’s not just about assessing your skills. We want to find out together whether you are a good fit for our team as a person. Of course, you will also have questions, which we will be happy to answer.
