University Internships: eligibility & how to apply

Who can apply?

• IBM presents internships as student opportunities, but its program page does not establish one universal undergraduate class-year minimum.
• The selected opening controls degree, coursework, graduation timing, location, work authorization, and compensation.
• IBM also offers co-ops and graduate-level routes; confirm that the role is an internship for current undergraduate students.

Dates, pay & program timing

IBM maintains a live internship search rather than one company-wide application deadline. Availability changes by team and location.

These details reflect the sources at the review date. An overview is not a live job offer. Check the official page for today's application status and the selected opening's written terms.
