The Tokyo-based programme offers aspiring software engineers hands-on training in full-stack development, cloud computing and modern web technologies. Applications are open until December 31, 2026.

International students interested in software engineering can now apply for the HENNGE Global Internship 2027 in Japan. The programme offers an opportunity to work alongside experienced engineers at HENNGE’s headquarters in Shibuya, Tokyo, and gain practical exposure to software development and emerging technologies.

The four-to-six-week, on-site internship is open to Japanese and international applicants, including eligible bachelor’s and master’s students and recent graduates. Participants will receive technical training, mentorship and opportunities to collaborate with an international engineering team.

There is no application fee, and applicants are not required to demonstrate Japanese-language proficiency or submit IELTS scores. English fluency is expected.

HENNGE Global Internship 2027: Financial Benefits

Selected interns will receive financial and logistical support during their stay in Japan. The benefits include:

What will interns learn?

The HENNGE Global Internship focuses on developing practical engineering skills rather than assigning participants routine production work.

Applicants can choose between two technical pathways based on their experience and career interests.

The Full-Stack Software Engineering pathway covers application development across front-end and back-end systems, DevOps practices and cloud infrastructure.

The Front-End Software Engineering pathway focuses on modern web development, including TypeScript and frameworks such as React and Vue.

Other areas of exposure include Python, Go, cloud computing and distributed systems.
