A Guide to International Internships

How to get an internship abroad

If you want to know how to get an international internship, it’s actually quite similar to finding a study abroad program. Start by asking yourself two key questions:

What are your career goals?

Finding internships abroad largely depends on narrowing down your career goals. Once you know what it is that you want to do or which skills you want to improve, you’ll be that much closer to finding the right internship abroad for you.

Do you need college credit?

Are you a college student seeking credit towards your degree, or are you a post grad or even mid-career professional? If you don’t require college credit for your international internship, it will actually greatly widen your options, since some university degree programs can be strict about what they accept for credit. If you don’t need college credit, your program options are basically limitless—meaning your dream internship is practically guaranteed. Intern abroad organizations have connections all over the world, so if you’re willing to pay the program fee, you’ll get unrivaled experience to add to your resume or CV.

Engineering Internship in Barcelona is great

by: Cuby Tsin - ChinaProgram: Intern in Barcelona with Absolute Internship
9

During my year 3 summer, I have had a chance to go for an international internship organized by Absolute Internship. It was the best summer I have ever had. As a student with engineering background, I was interning in a structural consultancy. Since it is the first time for me to work in engineering industry, I have understanded what’s the main tasks in an engineering consultancy. During the internship, I was assigned with different tasks including structural calculation, design with software and modelling. Besides the assigned tasks my supervisor, I was encouraged to do some self-study on my own based on my interested topics and share to my colleagues of what I have learned. It is a wonderful experience for me that I have chance to work and think out of the box. At the same time, the international working experience allows me to immerse myself in a new environment and to experience a more relaxing working environment. I am currently working in an engineering consultancy as an assistant engineer. The internship helps me a lot in equipping myself with how engineers mindset should be in order to contribute to the community, which correlate to what I am working on now.
