International Internships

Internships

International internships offer valuable opportunities for both professional and personal growth in your chosen field. By interning abroad, you can gain practical experience while also earning academic credit toward your university studies if required. What an amazing addition to your CV or Resume!

Throughout the program, interns are supported by an assigned supervisor who oversees daily responsibilities and evaluates progress by signing off on completed tasks.

Interns on these placements will be actively involved in hands-on projects within local organisations and must be studying in their chosen field or have completed a relevant degree. 

Specific requirements may vary depending on the internship, but generally include:

  • Academic transcripts (for current students)
  • Letter of motivation
  • Resume/CV

If you are seeking an internship in a specific field that is not listed, let us know—we will do our best to arrange a suitable placement tailored to your interests and goals.
