Who can apply?
- Gensler's internship page describes office-based internships for emerging design talent but does not publish one class-year, degree, location or authorization rule for every opening.
- The traditional internship is separate from the research-focused Summer Fellowship. Students should choose the route that matches the current posting and their goals.
- Portfolio, work-sample and academic requirements belong to the selected opening. Use the current Gensler careers listing rather than a past handbook or an expired third-party post.
The paid, research-focused Summer Fellowship has narrower upper-level or recent-graduate criteria than the traditional office internships. Do not copy its eligibility or application requirements onto every Gensler role.
Dates, pay & program timing
Gensler directs students to its available summer internships but does not state one universal application deadline on the overview. Follow the dates and status on the selected office posting.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
Curate a short portfolio around decisions, not decoration. For each project, state the problem, constraints, your individual contribution, iterations and what changed after critique or evidence.
Research the selected Gensler office and one relevant practice area. Connect your interest to its work while making clear which technical and design tools you can use independently.

Add a stage & next actionGensler: questions before applying
What do Gensler interns work on?
Gensler says its office internships provide hands-on experience on real projects alongside design teams and clients; the exact work depends on the office and role.
Is every Gensler internship the Summer Fellowship?
No. Gensler identifies a traditional office internship and a separate research-focused Summer Fellowship.
What college years can apply?
The broad internship page does not set one year rule. Use the student-status and education requirements in the current opening.
