Who can apply?

  • Thermo Fisher's interns page asks for undergraduates completing a bachelor's degree between December 2027 and June 2028, with previous related internships or work experience totalling at least one year.
  • Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the US without current or future sponsorship; the page says the company does not offer this position to F-1, J-1, H-1, OPT or CPT visa holders.
  • Geographic mobility and on-site, in-office work are stated requirements, both for the internship and for any full-time placement that follows.
Easy to miss

Thermo Fisher requires a year of previous related internship or work experience and a December 2027 to June 2028 graduation date. A student looking for a first internship, or graduating outside that window, does not meet the stated criteria.

Dates, pay & program timing

No universal cutoff confirmed

Thermo Fisher publishes 10-week internships with two 2027 start dates, May 24 and June 14. Undergraduate interns are paid an hourly rate between $18.50 and $28.75 depending on role and location, and a $5,000 relocation stipend is offered to eligible students who live 50 or more miles from the internship site. The page gives no application window or deadline.

How to apply to Thermo Fisher Scientific

  1. Check the two hard filters first: a bachelor's completion date between December 2027 and June 2028, and at least a year of related internship or work experience.
  2. Choose one of the six business-aligned tracks — general management, human resources, finance, research and development, IT and digital, or operations — and search the careers site for its 2027 postings.
  3. Pick a start date you can meet. The internship runs ten weeks from either May 24 or June 14, 2027, so compare both with your academic calendar before applying.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements

How to prepare a stronger application

This is a leadership pipeline rather than a first-internship program: Thermo Fisher says interns are considered during the internship for full-time roles and leadership development programs, and it asks for proven leadership plus a year of related experience. Lead with the job or internship that best shows you running something, then the result.

The page lists grit, learning agility and handling ambiguity among the traits it wants. Prepare an example where priorities changed partway through a project and explain what you dropped, what you kept and why.

Interns need reliable transport to their assigned site, and the page says company transport is not provided. Weigh that for any location alongside the relocation stipend's 50-mile rule.
