Liden & Denz offers internship positions year-round in Riga, St. Petersburg or Moscow. All positions offered are unpaid for legal reasons but there are other benefits. Internships can last from 8 to 12 weeks, for applicants with outstanding achievements even longer. Candidates should provide samples of work done in the area where they want to intern. The application deadline is 8 weeks prior to the desired arrival date. Decision on acceptance is made by Liden & Denz no later than 6 weeks before internship start date.
This attractive formula allows to combine Russian language studies (20 group lessons or 10 private lessons per week if no group is available) with a part time internship of 20 working hours in the afternoons (usually starting at 2:00 PM). Accommodation is not included and must be organized by the intern, either through Liden & Denz or independently.
Our interns work as part of the marketing team and create content that is published under their real name on our website and social channels. Candidates who are not ready to publish their name and appear in photos/video on our platforms (website and social media) should not apply.
