Do I have to be enrolled in school to work at Apple as an intern?
Yes. To qualify for an Apple internship, you must be a full-time student currently enrolled in a four-year undergraduate degree program or in an accredited graduate degree program.
From what kinds of degree programs are Apple interns typically hired?
The majority of Apple interns are studying some type of engineering: Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering.
I'm not an engineer. Is there an internship for me?
Apple does hire interns from non-technical areas, including MBAs or undergraduates studying finance, marketing, media arts, or graphic design. Successful intern candidates from non-engineering fields usually have some technical knowledge or experience.
To what kinds of projects are Apple interns assigned?
Apple offers hands-on experience with real-world projects that will allow you to apply what you've learned in school, gain skill rapidly, and build your resume and portfolio. Though roles and responsibilities vary, interns are almost always assigned to small teams, where they work alongside experienced professionals. Please visit our Behind the Scenes page to read about one intern's on-the-job experiences.
Which Apple locations offer internships?
Most internships are located at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California.
At what times of the year is the Apple intern program active?
It depends on the type of internship you are completing. Apple offers two types of internships:
- 12-week paid internships, which are typically completed during an intern's summer vacation from college or grad school.
- 3-6 month co-ops, which may take place at any point in the year, and for which interns typically earn academic credit. To find out if your school is a participant in our co-op program, please contact your school's career center.
Does Apple hire interns who are non-U.S. citizens?
Yes. We hire both U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens. Applications are considered on a case-by-case basis.
I am very interested in applying for an internship. How do I get started?
The single best way to get started is to attend an info session, career fair, or interview on your college or graduate school campus. Please check our Campus Events page to find out if we are coming to your school.
