Due to his good performance for Hoffemheim, Beck was called up on 5 February 2009 for the Germany national football team and made his debut against Norway in Düsseldorf.
His largest international success was the gain of the UEFA European Under-21 Championships 2009 in Sweden under manager Horst Hrubesch. He scored the only goal against Italy U21 to send Germany to the final. He played the full 90 minutes against England U21 in the final and helped keep a clean sheet in the 4–0 win.
Beck was included on the 30-man preliminary roster for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but did not make the final 23 man squad by Joachim Löw as he favour Dennis Aogo and Holger Badstuber to be in the 23 man squad. After being left out of the squad for the 2010 World Cup, Beck believes his exclusion from the squad will help accelerate his development as a person and a footballer.
