Can I study for a master’s degree while working at DORNBACH?

For holders of bachelor’s degrees, we offer a variety of master’s programmes – for example, in cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences Worms. Here, you can gather specific expertise while gaining practical experience. As an innovative auditing and tax consulting firm, DORNBACH offers a comprehensive apprenticeship in the field of fiscal law and encourages interaction between theory and practice.
For those who wish to optimally combine work and studies, DORNBACH also offers the opportunity to study a master’s degree alongside your employment.

Can I write my bachelor’s/master’s/doctoral thesis in your company?

As we regulary arrange supervision of theses within internships, we only rarely look outside our poor of interns for students writing their final theses.

From which semester onwards can I apply for an internship or working student position?

In principle, an internship at DORNBACH is possible at any time. However, since you will gain much more benefit from an internship when you have a certain level of basic knowledge, you should be in at least your third semester of study. It is also sensible to plan to spend more than eight weeks working with us as an intern.

Is there a minimum length for internships or working student positions?

We aim to impart as much knowledge as possible to our interns during their time at DORNBACH. This requires a certain minimum amount of time: for student interns this is at least eight weeks, with a maximum length of six months. Working student positions are only available with a duration of at least six months.

How can I apply for an internship as a pupil/A-level student?

At DORNBACH, pupil internships are possible, with durations between two weeks and three months. Additionally, we work with a variety of schools to offer long-term internships. Here, you have the opportunity to get a taste of working life on different days of the week over the course of a whole year, allowing you to visualise working life and your career aspirations.

Does DORNBACH offer voluntary internships lasting more than three months?

Alongside mandatory internships, we also offer the opportunity to undertake voluntary internships. We individually check possible fields of applications within internships – we would be happy to receive your speculative application.

What can I expect during the selection procedure for a place on the apprenticeship programme?

As an apprenticeship is extremely important for a young person’s development, we place great value on our selection procedure. First, we get to know you during a personal interview. For us, a significant factor is whether you fit into our team and whether the apprenticeship would be a valuable time for you. At DORNBACH, our selection procedure does not consist of superficial tests, and we do not expect you to solve problems perfectly right away. You come to us to learn, and not to show that you can already do everything perfectly.

What opportunities are there for me after my apprenticeship?

As DORNBACH is a company which is constantly growing, we are also continually training young talent. After successfully completing your vocational training, we are happy to retain our trainees and offer you a variety of professional and personal development opportunities with further qualifications.
Not only apprenticeships but also internships or working student positions increase your chances of becoming part of our company in the future.

What tasks do interns carry out?

At DORNBACH, interns definitely do not just make coffee. Quite the opposite: from the outset, you work on an equal footing with graduates. In a team, you will be collecting data, carrying out analyses, preparing presentations and gaining an insight into the diverse tasks of a tax advisor or auditor.
