A Guide to Geology Internships Abroad

Prepare to Study Abroad

Understand the benefits

Seeing and working in the world through Geology provides so many exciting benefits that can be life-changing professionally and personally. Here are a couple of big highlights.

  • Availability anywhere. Geology internships are available with universities conducting purely scientific research as well as corporations involved in everything from oil extraction and production to civil engineering to natural resource preservation.
  • Multifaceted experience. Like the example above, areas of the field will often be blended, providing interns with an inter-disciplined approach to the field of geology and students with the chance to apply their education to the real world.
  • Demonstrate knowledge & value. Interns can show prospective future employers that they have not only made efforts to expand their knowledge as much as possible but also that they are flexible and able to adapt.
  • Make Real, Lasting Change. Some geology internships abroad will allow interns to make a sustainable difference in local communities, by initiating awareness campaigns or helping to educate community members about the importance of environmental protection.

Things to know

Heading out on a geology internship anywhere in the world, there’s plenty of stuff to know and research. International geological internships will involve either laboratory work, fieldwork, or a combination of the two. Here are the basics for anyone participating in one.

  • Visa and paper requirements. You’ll need a visa and other important information relevant to your program. Professional programs, embassies, and airlines are the best places to get the most current and required material for your experience.
  • Language skills. Check to see if there are any language requirements. If you’re going to be learning the basics, consider learning a few things before going. It can be helpful during the introductory period. Knowing or learning the basics of a language is respectful to the locals.
  • Cost and logistics. There are plenty of places to intern but with varying costs of living. Commonly, housing is provided in the form of dormitory-style quarters, homestays, or apartments.
  • Health and safety. Read up on and follow all rules and regulations of the country’s health and safety guidelines. Get all recommended vaccinations and check-ups before departure.
  • Cultural and social etiquette. Learn how to say hello—if you don’t know already! More specifically, knowing how the country you’re headed to greets one another. Take an afternoon and research the dos and don'ts of the country you’re visiting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Geology internships vary based on specialization. Fieldwork internships focus on collecting and analyzing geological samples, while lab-based roles emphasize mineral testing and geochemical analysis. Environmental geology internships deal with sustainability and conservation efforts, and petroleum or mining internships explore resource extraction. Some positions integrate GIS mapping and data modeling.

A geology intern should have strong analytical skills, proficiency in GIS software, and a solid understanding of rock and mineral identification. Fieldwork requires physical stamina and data collection abilities, while lab roles demand attention to detail in testing procedures. Communication and teamwork are also crucial, especially for reporting findings and collaborating on research projects.

Top countries for geology internships include Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, and Greece. From volcanic activity and seismic zones to ancient rock formations and diverse landscapes, these destinations offer hands-on research opportunities. Explore geologic time, tectonics, and natural phenomena while gaining international experience in world-renowned environments.

An international geology internship enhances global career prospects by exposing interns to different geological environments and methodologies. It provides hands-on experience in diverse terrains, improves cross-cultural communication, and expands professional networks. Additionally, working abroad helps develop adaptability, a key skill in fieldwork-heavy careers.

Securing a paid geology internship abroad involves researching companies in resource-rich regions, reaching out to geological organizations, and exploring government-sponsored training programs. Networking with professionals and university departments can uncover funding opportunities, while scholarships and research grants may help offset costs.

Remote geology internships are less common but do exist, particularly in GIS mapping, data analysis, and geospatial modeling. Interns may work on geological databases, assist in remote sensing projects, or contribute to research papers. While they lack fieldwork experience, these internships provide valuable technical skills relevant to geology careers.
