More FAQs.

All open AcceleratiON positions will be posted on this website. Usually, there are more places than job ads as the positions are grouped into individual clusters. The precise number of positions is aligned to the demand of the company and different departments and can therefore vary.

AcceleratiON is suitable for both bachelor's and master's graduates from corresponding fields of study. However, the master's degree is preferred, ideally with 6-10 month professional experience.

As a trainee you receive a permanent employment contract right from the beginning at the BMW Group. 

It is very important to us to make the selection process as simple and fast as possible for our applicants. Therefore, we inform all applicants immediately about the status as soon as the application has been reviewed. However, due to the large number of positions and applications, it can sometimes take a while before the first response is received. Details on deadlines and time frames can be found in the application process chart on this website.

You can have a part-time job or start your own business. However, both must be officially registered with and approved by HR.

You can find specific information about this on this website. Please also have a look on our application process chart.

Our decision is based on a comprehensive and objective consideration of all factors. The online test, together with other application documents, is part of our pre-selection process. On this basis, we decide in a first step who could be considered for our positions with their skills and qualifications. Please note that we cannot consider your application in the further selection process without the online test.

As you start in a permanent employment relationship with the BMW Group, the remuneration is based on the applicable collective agreements.

You will start as a permanent employee with the BMW Group. Various modules during the AcceleratiON programme will help you find a suitable position afterwards. You will – for example – build a large network that you can later draw on, and benefit from professional as well as personal growth.    

You can also apply for the AcceleratiON programme during your master's programme before you have received your final grade. However, you must have completed your studies by the time the programme starts.

Our programmes are managed centrally from Munich and your home plant will be Debrecen. Events such as semester workshops and seminars also take place there. Nevertheless, we encourage our participants to complete practical assignments at our other locations within BMW Group globally. These are planned in consultation with the mentors and in consideration of the respective interests of our programme participants. During the trainee programme, two out of four practical assignments will also take place abroad.

After the end of the programme, all doors in our company are open to you. However, you are not contractually obliged to stay with the BMW Group.
