Working in Mainz: Jobs for students in Mainz

Working while studying: Build your network

Mainz is not only proud of its more than 2000-year-old history and Roman tradition. With around 39,000 students and a population of around 200,000, the average age is only around 41 - which also explains the innovative spirit of Mainz's research landscape and companies. Stable at a high level - this is how around 450 Mainz companies assessed Mainz as a business location in autumn 2020. And rightly so, because Mainz is a prospering business centre in the middle of the economically strong Rhine-Main region and as such offers the best conditions for students to find a part-time job in Mainz or to make a career after their studies.

Student jobs, internships, and a career springboard for working students
