Internship opportunities - McKinsey & Company

You can join McKinsey Denmark as an intern if you are still studying and want a hands-on opportunity to experience work as a consultant. You will be acquainted with McKinsey’s integrated approach to problem solving, teamwork, and client engagements and gain valuable work experience before graduation.

As a full team member, you will work with McKinsey experts from around the world, receive day-to-day coaching from your project manager and team members, and become familiar with critical challenges that top-level clients from varying industries are facing. We look for people who are enterprising and have strong analytical and leadership skills. An internship can present the opportunity to return to McKinsey as a consultant after graduation for master students or as a business analyst for bachelor students.

Students are eligible for an internship from their fourth semester onwards and internships last eight weeks. If you are accepted, we will plan the dates of your internship with you and do our best to accommodate your wishes. Our application requirements for internships are identical to our full-time roles, which you can in the application link.

The way we work

In Denmark, working in close partnership with our clients is one of the most important characteristics of the way we work. Our client teams are made up of three to five McKinsey consultants, including a team leader, who is responsible for the day-to-day progress. The overall leadership of a project is carried out by at least one partner, and colleagues with relevant expertise are brought in from McKinsey’s vast global knowledge network as needed.

The deadline for applications to intern in our Copenhagen office in 2026 is September 24, 2025.
