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.

Internship in New York was a Great Experience!

April 17, 2025by: Nashaly Rodriguez - United StatesProgram: ArtBound Initiative - Creative Internships in New York

I was placed in New York, in the city of my choice, within my field of film production. Although my first choice was Script Development, I was placed in a Film Production position. At first, I was a bit disappointed because it wasn't what I wanted at first, but after going through the internship, I realized that it gave me ample experience in production for clients in video making, editing, and client scheduling. The videos we filmed were for promotion for the clients, advertising their products or business, and making a story come to life. Not only was this experience valuable for my career, but the people I met during this experience were absolutely amazing, and I know we will become lifelong friends and partners. Truly a great place to be to start your career in your designated field.
