I am an environmental management student in a German university who is currently looking for internships here, particularly with Lufthansa. So far their internships I have interest in are mostly business administration or human resource management related (which I have taken some courses on these), but aren't exactly environmental management related. And I have heard that in Germany, it is unlikely that the company will take you for a position which isn't your field of study, is it true?

An internship must be recognised by your university, as well as serving a need of the company you work in.
Since Lufthansa isn't really active in any environmental sense (other than polluting it) and they have no fitting internships advertised, I suggest you try at other companies. Your university can help you find them.

Hi all,
The Lufthansa website actually lists the student interns it's looking for; this link will take you there; environmental specialists are not in there.
They do claim to have an ISO14001 policy in place; but the responsibility for it is at a very high level on the board, which suggests they probably outsource this activity. They have issued a very impressive BALANCE Sustainability Report in September 2018.
As Beppi has suggested, you're probably better off looking for another company that has an in-house environmental team that could help you.
Hope this helps.
