Internships in Armenia

Armenia is a very small country, home to just over 3 million citizens amid its mountainous landscape. It lays in a key strategic region at the gateway between Asia and Europe, and so has seen influence by many different cultures from all over the world throughout its expansive history. Today Armenia shares borders with Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, Azerbaijan to the east, and Iran to the south.

Yerevan is the country’s capital and largest city, and so not coincidentally also the most popular destination where to intern abroad in Armenia. Over one-third of Armenia’s population resides in Yerevan, making it undeniably the cultural and economic nucleus of the country. Yerevan is also one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, thought to be founded in 782 BCE, and so boasts a tremendous amount of beautiful historical architecture.

While no other cities in the country come close to the size or influence of Yerevan, there are several other destinations that can also be promising places where to intern abroad in Armenia. Gyumri and Vanadzor, for example, are the country’s second and third largest cities, and can provide interns a more culturally intimate experience away from the hustle and bustle of the nation’s capital.
