Architecture Internships Abroad

Architecture is one of the most distinctive aspects of any city and often a major factor in deciding where to travel abroad. That’s why architecture internships abroad offer more than just the chance to visit another city—they allow you to walk through structures and learn about their history and design in person. While textbooks and classrooms provide a foundation, traveling and experiencing diverse architectural contexts will shape who you become as an architect.

Architecture & Sustainable Construction Internship - Ecuador

Join this hands-on internship and help low-income Indigenous communities revive ancestral building techniques to create sustainable housing for all. THE CHALLENGE Before construction industrialization, Andean communities built with rich clay soils. Globalization shifted practices to single-skin concrete buildings—faster and “modern,” but colder, costlier, less ecological, and more earthquake-prone. Hundreds of adobe homes now lie in ruin, and as these traditional methods vanish, so does their cultural and architectural heritage. THE SOLUTION We’re helping restore these buildings to preserve heritage and provide future benefits, from dignified homes to income through tourism. With support from our experienced team, join a design or build project to learn how adobe houses are made in the Andes and help restore those that might otherwise collapse. OUR METHODOLOGY Our internships use Design Thinking to co-create solutions with local partners. You’ll learn to observe, ideate, and prototype in real contexts, building skills while driving sustainable change. On weekends—or before and after your stay—you can explore Ecuador, from the Amazon to the Galápagos.

A Guide to Architecture Internships Abroad

Prepare for an Internship

Understand the benefits

Interning abroad in architecture offers numerous advantages that extend beyond classroom learning. To list a few, here are what you can look forward to:

  • Exposure to different architectural styles. What’s exciting about interning abroad is learning about different architectural styles and current trends that you could later take inspiration from for your work.
  • Building an international portfolio. As you travel, you build your portfolio with international projects that show how adaptable you are to different preferences.
  • Learning advanced design technologies. Architectural firms worldwide use various design software and techniques that you can learn to enhance your technical skills.

Things to know

Before embarking on your architecture internship abroad, there are a few more important factors to consider:

  • Cost of living and accommodations - Research living costs to budget for housing, food, and transport, which vary by location. Affordable options like shared apartments, student housing, or homestays can help manage expenses, giving you a realistic monthly budget for essentials.
  • Visas and important documents - Check visa requirements early and gather necessary documents, like a passport and proof of funds. Applying in advance and having document copies ensures smoother travel and helps avoid delays or complications.
  • Health and safety - Learn how to access healthcare and get international health insurance for emergencies. Familiarize yourself with local safety guidelines and emergency contacts to feel prepared in your new environment.

Popular Providers

Frequently Asked Questions

Before anything else, you must determine which sector interests you or aligns with your university requirements. Your search for an architecture internship abroad may encompass the International Relations Office of your university, specific companies or firms, or online platforms that list opportunities from program providers worldwide.

It all depends on the sector you want to specialize in. The UAE, Dubai in particular, is the perfect destination for an architecture internship if you’re interested in avante-garde or insanely tall buildings. Australia is an ideal country for sustainable design, while Spain is for diverse architectural styles—from Gothic to modern.

Architecture internships, like any other programs for university students and fresh graduates, are generally unpaid. But based on the current job market, a few highly paid careers include Principal Architect, Architect, Architectural Engineer, Architectural Project Manager, and Architectural Designer.

The average cost of architecture internships abroad can be anywhere from $2000-$2,500 for a duration of four weeks. This amount goes toward the program fee, which generally includes accommodation and a meal plan. You also have to factor in logistics and daily living expenses to estimate the entire cost while interning overseas.
