Internships in Asia
The continent of Asia has an incredibly broad and diverse mixture of cultures, languages, and economic structures. Coming from the West, interns will gain exposure to an entirely new way of life and gain invaluable global experience within their field of interest. Whether working in a highly developed Tiger Economy, a rapidly developing Tiger Cub economy, or anywhere beyond, internships in Asia will provide professional and personal development experience which will enrich interns’ lives beyond measure.

A Guide to Interning Abroad in Asia
Locations
Asia is the largest continent in the world, so obviously your choice of locations for internships in Asia will be plentiful. The most common countries to pursue an internship in the Far East are Japan, South Korea, and China. Each has a distinctly unique culture and is at a different phase of economic development: Japan is a highly advanced economy, South Korea is a developed Tiger Economy, and China is a developing economy. The types of available internships in Asia will vary according to the state of the nation’s economy.
Southeast Asia presents an interesting blend of cultures and landscapes in which to intern abroad as well. Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines are collectively referred to as the four Tiger Cub economies because of their promising potential for industrial development in the coming years, making each nation an exciting and fruitful place to pursue an internship abroad. Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore are three highly developed economies which are also great places for internships abroad in Southeast Asia.
Further to the west lies India, a massive subcontinent of its own which remains in the fledgling stages of industrialization. Many Indian cities boast headquarters of large global companies, while underdeveloped rural areas offer many internships with NGOs and other international organizations. Other potential placements in this region are Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
There are many more countries where you can find internships in Asia too, so do your research carefully and pick a destination that matches the internship experience you are looking for. Some additional factors to consider are travel opportunities, climate, infrastructural development, and cultural differences.
