How to Intern Abroad in Animal Science
Overview
Prepare for an Internship
Understand the benefits
Deciding to take an animal science internship abroad can be a big step, but the benefits can be huge for your career. Here’s why it’s worth thinking about:
- Real-world learning. Step outside the classroom and into the field to gain firsthand experience working with wildlife, livestock, or marine animals. You’ll come home with knowledge you can’t get from lectures alone.
- Career advantage. International experience on your resume makes you stand out. Employers notice candidates who can thrive in diverse, cross-cultural environments.
- Global perspective. Learn how animal care and conservation differ around the world, from ethical practices to sustainable management, and see how science connects communities.
Things to know
Interning abroad in animal science requires some preparation and awareness. Here’s what you should consider:
- Know your field. Research what kind of animal science work you’ll be doing—wildlife rehabilitation, veterinary support, or marine conservation—so you can arrive prepared and confident.
- Gear up. Depending on your destination, you might need sturdy boots, field clothes, or even snorkeling gear. Packing smart ensures you’re ready for any kind of animal encounter.
- Respect local wildlife laws. Each country has unique regulations around animal care and conservation. Knowing and following them helps protect both the animals and your internship experience.
Locations
Choose a Location
The beauty of animal science internships abroad is the diversity of experiences available around the globe. Your destination will shape the animals you work with and the type of conservation or research you’ll do.
South Africa
South Africa is a dream for anyone passionate about wildlife. Interns work directly with iconic species like lions, elephants, and rhinos while learning about conservation challenges and habitat protection across world-famous national parks and reserves.
Australia
Australia’s rich ecosystems make it an incredible destination for animal lovers. You’ll gain hands-on experience with native species like kangaroos and koalas, or dive into marine projects along the Great Barrier Reef, combining adventure and animal science in one unforgettable internship.
Costa Rica
Costa Rica’s dedication to biodiversity and conservation makes it an ideal location for aspiring animal scientists. Interns often work on wildlife rehabilitation, sea turtle conservation, or veterinary projects—all while enjoying a lush tropical landscape and a welcoming local culture.
Getting Started
Tips and Advice
Getting ready for your animal science internship abroad can be exciting and a little overwhelming—but with the right steps, you’ll be ready for takeoff in no time.
1. Get matched
Use GoAbroad’s Online Advisor to get instantly matched with animal science programs that fit your academic goals, preferred destinations, and areas of interest.
2. Choose a program

3. Decide when to go
Picking the right season affects your experience, making your trip more special. Consider your preferred weather and activities to plan the ideal time for your adventure.
- Summer: Ideal for students on break—expect busy wildlife programs and plenty of fieldwork opportunities.
- Fall: Great for deeper learning and smaller groups, with more personalized guidance.
- Winter: A quieter season, often with less competition and unique fieldwork opportunities.
- Spring: Perfect for observing animal migrations, births, and ecosystem renewal.
4. Funding & scholarships
Apply through GoAbroad’s scholarships and deals application to get instantly matched with funding opportunities that help make your internship experience affordable.
5. Apply
Once you’ve chosen your program, visit its GoAbroad page and click “Apply Now” or “Inquire Here.” You’ll be contacted by a coordinator who will help guide you through the process.

I'm not confident in Korean I just know how to say Annyeonghaseyo. Saranghae. I love you. I love BTS that's all I need to say. And I have been in South Korea for the past one month and a half. I have about 15 days left. So, I'm doing an internship in marketing and PR. It's in a K-pop entertainment company. It has been good. At the start, it was a bit new. I'm not used to sitting at the desk for such a long period. And this is my first internship, so now I'm used to it. It's a bit easier. All the people over there are really helpful and kind. I'm doing business administration and international business. My school wanted us to do a compulsory internship in our first year. At first, it was just additional work. I didn't want to do an internship right after my exams, since it's my vacation. So, I had to go somewhere that I would actually enjov. So, I was like, I'll just go to South Korea. It's the perfect thing for me. I love BTS. That's why I chose South Korea. It's basically because of BTS. And I don’t regret for a second and I have been really enjoying myself so much. I would definitely recommend it to everyone!

I've learned a lot, actually, because it also has to do with my major, but these are things that I don't particularly do in my classes because we are more designers for websites; I already knew how to do the technical stuff, but it was helpful in handling it the more professional way, because I used to do it only in school, and in school you don't really care about your work that much; here, it's for the company itself, so it has to be done in a professional way, and in that way, it was helpful! Thank you for everything KGY.

Thank you so much for the lovely review, Kiera! We’re so glad to hear that you had such a positive experience in Barcelona and were able to combine gaining international work experience with making the most of everything the city has to offer. It’s especially great to hear how much you enjoyed the activities organized by our Barcelona Community Team, as well as all of their local recommendations along the way.

I joined an internship at a startup focused on sustainable fashion, creating bags and accessories with a mission to care for the planet. For every item sold, one is donated to a child in Africa. My role involved developing marketing, business, and expansion strategies, applying everything I learned in my Master’s and undergraduate studies. This experience taught me the importance of adapting to different corporate cultures and allowed me to contribute meaningfully to a company with a beautiful mission.

Marketing Internship in Seoul, South Korea
August 20, 2026by: Lovely * - United StatesProgram: Social Internship in South Korea with Korea Gapyear
After graduating with a degree I wasn’t sure how to use, I found myself feeling lost. I knew I needed time to refocus and understand what I truly enjoy doing. That’s why I decided to take a gap year, to focus on myself and explore new opportunities. When I was first consulted by Korea Gap Year, I immediately felt understood. They guided me through every step of the process and made sure all of my questions were answered. Their support helped me feel at ease before and during my stay in South Korea. I came to Seoul for a one-month internship at Korea Gap Year, where I worked in marketing—my first time ever in this kind of role. I was both nervous and excited, and I truly wanted to do my best. Three years earlier, I had studied abroad in Seoul for six months, so I already had an idea of what to expect. I knew a month would be the perfect length for me this time both emotionally and financially. If I could have stayed longer, I absolutely would have, because I really enjoyed my time working at Korea Gap Year. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a Korean work environment. When I arrived, Olivia kindly introduced me to everyone and gave me a tour of the office. I was asked to present myself and share my skills so they could assign tasks accordingly. One of the things I enjoyed most was translating past participants’ stories into English and Spanish. It turned out to be something I loved, and it made me realize that I want to pursue a career in this field. My schedule was Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to 6 PM. It was definitely an adjustment especially sitting for eight hours straight but I got used to it. One thing that surprised me was how quiet the office could be. In the U.S., people often greet each other with “good morning” or “have a good day,” whereas in Korea, people just quietly go about their work. At first, I felt a bit rude not saying anything, but eventually, the introvert in me appreciated the quiet too. My main goal during this internship was to become more confident and focused on my career. While I sometimes felt frustrated knowing I had to go back home, this experience gave me time to reflect. The job market in the U.S. has been tough, and I often felt uncertain about what was waiting for me. But living alone in Korea for a month was an eye-opener. It helped me learn so much about myself. I've always struggled to express how I feel, but being here helped me open up. Being a student in Korea three years ago was a completely different experience from working here. It’s much easier to make friends as a student. As a worker, it was more difficult, but I appreciated the little moments when locals would approach me during dinner just to speak English. Some even asked about my Mexican heritage and my Spanish, which made me happy and proud to share. It was a meaningful exchange of cultures. Korean culture was breathtaking to experience again. From packed subways during rush hour to cute themed cafes and late-night karaoke, everything felt surreal. I know I’ll truly miss this lifestyle when I return home. It's definitely true when they say Seoul never sleeps! Don’t be afraid to try new things! Try new foods, drinks, visit places, and step out of your comfort zone. You’re in a different country, don't be shy. If you feel discouraged or homesick just remember that you are working towards your goal and future. I also believe your accomodation should be around a loud neighborhood so it’s not totally quiet making you feel at ease being abroad alone. Thank you, Korea Gap Year, for welcoming me as an intern. I’m incredibly grateful for all that I learned and for the support you gave me. To future participants: - Don’t overpack, unless you don’t plan on spending money in Korea. Honestly, it's hard not to! Everything is more affordable compared to the U.S. or Europe, so bring two suitcases. - Research before you go! Watch videos about getting around Incheon Airport, SIM cards, and public transportation. It’s super helpful. - Be prepared for loneliness if you’re traveling for the first time. At home, eating alone is comforting, but in a new country, it can feel isolating. Thankfully, some coworkers invited me to eat together, which I truly appreciated. - Try new things! Whether it’s food, places, or stepping out of your comfort zone. You’re in a different country! Don’t be shy. If you ever feel homesick, remind yourself why you’re here and what you’re working toward. - Stay somewhere lively. If possible, choose accommodation in a busier area. The noise and energy can help ease feelings of loneliness. What to Bring: - Seoul has tons of stores. Daiso is a lifesaver for essentials and affordable finds. - Two things I had trouble with: finding foundation that matches my skin tone, and pants that fit (if you’re tall, they may run short). So pack those ahead of time! - Don’t forget an adapter for your electronic, but don’t worry if you forget something everything’s accessible here. My Gap Year Review! Environment ★★★★★ I was not used to such a quiet working environment but it was really nice getting to experience a different working culture. Language ★★★★★ It was nice being around the Korean language as it made me learn new vocabulary but if you don’t speak it that’s okay there so many things that are translated to English. Accommodation ★★★★★ I got an Airbnb near the company which was so convenient especially during working hours it gets super busy in the subway. So, if you can get an accommodation near the company I suggest that. Safety ★★★★★ Seoul is very safe in my opinion so I never had to worry about any dangerous parts or activities but it’s still an important thing to be safe wherever you are. Learning ★★★★★ Thank you Korea Gap Year for giving me this opportunity! I learned a lot of new skills and realized what tasks I really enjoy doing. I also learned more Korean than I thought!



A priceless & unforgettable learning experience!

What an amazing internship experience! It was an unforgettable month that pushed me out of my comfort zone, gave me experiences I’d never have at home, and allowed me to learn about conservation while meeting some amazing people. I learned a great deal and the entire experience definitely exceeded my expectations! I really enjoyed game drives. It was a good way to explore the reserve, learn lots about the environment and wildlife, get to know other participants and no drive was ever the same. Seeing all the animals, sunrise and sunsets on drives and getting to know new people made the experience truly unforgettable.

The time spent doing my GIS internship at the Gondwana Game Reserve exceeded my expectations in both the knowledge I received and the amazing views I was fortunate enough to see. I learned a great deal, saw a lot of amazing animals and it was extremely rewarding to learn so much about GIS and wildlife.

Best summer ever
August 19, 2026by: Bryce Brenkus - United StatesThe internship experience in Barcelona was absolutely amazing both in the office and out of the office. Our local host Isabel was amazing when getting us acclimated to the city, as well as providing reccomendations and ensuring our safety. On top of that, her community events that she planned for our group were so much fun whether it was a day trip to the beach, going to dinner, or attractions like park guell. The internship on the other hand was a great work experience, and I learned so much about working abroad.
Thank you so much for the amazing review, Bryce! We’re so glad to hear that you had such a positive experience both inside and outside of your internship during your time in Barcelona. It’s especially lovely to hear how much you appreciated Isabel and all of the support, recommendations and activities she provided throughout your program. From beach days and dinners to exploring some of Barcelona’s must-see spots, it sounds like you really made the most of your time in the city! We’re also so happy to hear that your internship gave you valuable professional experience and the opportunity to learn more about working abroad. We loved having you as part of our Barcelona community and hope you’re leaving with plenty of new skills, friendships and amazing memories from your summer!
Great time!
August 19, 2026by: Madison Anderson - United StatesI had a great time in Berlin! I got to experience living on my own for the first time in a brand new city. Learn how to use public transportation, save money, take care of myself, and learn new things from my internship.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Madison! We’re so glad to hear that your time in Berlin gave you the opportunity to develop both professionally and personally while gaining practical experience in marketing and analytics. We loved having you as part of our Berlin community and hope the skills, lessons and experiences from your summer abroad continue to support you throughout your studies and future career.

Empowered by Hands-On Conservation and Unforgettable Global Connections
August 15, 2026by: Samantha WestBefore starting my program, I received a good level of support from both my Program Manager & In-Country Internship Coordinator - they were very helpful! They answered all my emails and set up Zoom calls to answer my questions. I felt prepared before starting the program because the staff was caring, answered all my questions, and provided me with all the information I needed. I feel more empowered in the field of Biology and environmental science. I saw that both small and big efforts help make a difference. For example, our nightly patrol walks and relocating the sea turtle eggs intrigued me to keep exploring this field. I also appreciated the small efforts of doing beach cleanups and sorting the recycling. I look forward to learning more about how to protect our world and the animals living on it, while continuing to take action. My favorite memory from this program was most definitely the people I met. Everyone was so kind, and I got to make connections with people I would have never met if I hadn't done this program. I met people from all around the world and learned about their cultures.
Change your life, network, and perspective
August 15, 2026by: Victoria Gacutan - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I will always be an advocate to intern or study abroad. No matter where you choose to go, you will leave with your life changed. The Intern Group is a reputable, reliable choice. Dublin is a great city to explore and work in, especially if you like more mid-size and communal cities. What you put into the program is what you get out, so explore and experience all you can. There’s a lot to do in Dublin, as you have both of best worlds, being by the city and sea. As an avid ocean lover, I was able to be in the ocean, but also get my city girl on which I loved. Adam and Laura were our ECs here in Dublin. They were great in coordinating social plans while getting accustomed to Dublin and if we had any questions, they were very supportive.
A Program That Truly Delivers!
August 15, 2026by: Megan Hoang - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
This internship abroad is the kind of experience that changes how you see yourself. Away from the usual routines and support systems back home, you’re forced to figure things out on your own, and that’s where the real growth happens. Navigating a new place, solving problems solo, building a routine from scratch: it teaches you more about independence than any classroom ever could. The program also gives you room to actually test out a career path instead of just guessing at it. You get to try the work firsthand and see what genuinely clicks. What stands out most is the community and the events. Everyone’s going through the same adjustment, which creates a natural closeness. People get it, and they show up for each other, which makes the hard parts a lot easier to handle. Overall, a genuinely worthwhile experience. Highly recommend.
Thinking outside the box
August 15, 2026by: Giorgia Salgarelli - ItalyProgram: International Internships in Dublin
This experience gave me so much. During my internship, I learned to see things from different perspectives and to try new things without fear also because the people I worked with were very kind, helpful and supportive. I'm very grateful for everything and experiences like this are very important because if you think that you have an open mind like this one helps to think outside the box and learn how to solve problems and new challenges without fear!
My first experience abroad!
August 14, 2026by: Concetta Guerrera - ItalyProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I had one of the best time of my life! The internship has helped me to grow both personally and professionally and I will be forever grateful to The Intern Group for the opportunity given.

The greatest two months of my life
August 12, 2026by: Campbell Adams - United StatesThe program itself was amazing. I had a great placement. Work life is very fun and chill, but also enough work where I was learning a great amount. The program has a ton of opportunities to get together and do cool trips, but it also gives you the free freedom to travel. The two coordinators were awesome. Honestly made us feel so comfortable being in Barcelona.
Thank you so much for the lovely review, Campbell! We’re so glad to hear that you had such an amazing experience with both your internship and the wider Barcelona program. It’s especially great to hear how much you enjoyed the activities and the time spent with our Barcelona Community Team. We always try to plan a mix of experiences that help you discover parts of the city and local culture that you might not necessarily seek out on your own, so hearing that some of your best memories in Barcelona came from those experiences means a lot to us. We loved having you as part of our Barcelona community and are so happy that Beyond Academy helped make your summer abroad such a memorable one. Wishing you all the best with whatever comes next!
Amazing experience
August 12, 2026by: Collin Cribben - United StatesI couldn’t have asked for a better program to join. Everyone was so amazing and our program leaders were the absolute best and the events were extremely fun. I was placed in the best internship I could have asked for.
Thank you so much for the amazing review, Collin! We’re so glad to hear that you had such a positive experience in Barcelona and that your internship was such a great fit. Getting to work inside Barcelona’s Olympic Stadium alongside other international interns sounds like a pretty memorable way to spend a summer! We also love hearing how much you enjoyed being part of the smaller Barcelona community and, of course, your time with Isabel. Our events are all about giving everyone the opportunity to experience the city together and build genuine friendships, so it’s great to hear that they became something you looked forward to each week! We absolutely loved having you as part of our Barcelona community and hope you’re leaving with some amazing memories, friendships and professional experience to take forward with you. Wishing you all the best with whatever comes next!
Great Support
August 11, 2026by: Eli Morcos - United StatesLiving and working on the other side of the world in a completely different culture is not the easiest thing in the world. Beyond Academy made this transition as smooth as possible, and made sure that I was safe and accounted for frequently throughout my two months there.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Elias! We’re so happy to hear that you felt supported throughout every stage of your journey, from the visa process and internship search right through to your time on the ground in Bangkok. It’s especially great to hear that we were able to find an internship that combined the industries you were most interested in and helped you gain experience in exactly the areas you wanted to explore. We know that moving across the world can feel daunting, so it means a lot to hear that our team helped make the process smooth and enjoyable. We loved having you as part of our Bangkok community and hope you’re leaving with valuable professional experience, incredible memories and the confidence to take on your next adventure. Wishing you all the best with whatever comes next!
10/10 Experience
August 11, 2026by: Britton Born - United StatesBerlin is an amazing city. The Base, where we lived, was very comfortable. Beyond was great at having activities and initiating meet ups with the other interns. I loved the atmosphere of Berlin. I felt that it had a very gritty, artistic vibe to it which I really enjoyed.
Thank you so much for the lovely review, Britton! We’re so glad to hear that you had such an amazing summer in Berlin and that we were able to connect you with an internship that aligned well with your studies and gave you the opportunity to gain valuable experience in the Berlin real estate market. It’s also great to hear that you enjoyed your accommodation and made the most of everything Berlin has to offer outside of your internship. It really is such a fun and unique city to spend a summer in! We loved having you as part of our Berlin community and hope you’re taking home plenty of new skills, memories and experiences from your time abroad. Wishing you all the best with your studies and whatever comes next!
