How to Intern Abroad in Biology
Overview
Prepare for an Internship
Understand the benefits
Interning abroad in biology offers numerous advantages both professionally and personally! Here’s what you can gain:
- Hands-on experience and education outside of a classroom. Work in real-world environments and gain practical skills.
- Professional networking through a field you care about. Build connections with experts and peers in the program.
- Strengthen your academics and resume. Your overall working knowledge of the field will expand and can be easily applied in a classroom or work environment.
Things to know
Depending on where you’re headed, there are plenty of things to know directly related to the internship. Consider the tips below before traveling.
- Visa requirements. Check and apply for necessary visas and any other VIP paperwork the program requires well in advance.
- Health and safety. Stay updated on health advisories and ensure you have the necessary vaccinations. Another important thing to check is whether you need health insurance (not guaranteed everywhere)!
- Cultural sensitivity. Respect local customs and traditions to foster good relationships. A great thing to do is learn the basics of any local language.
Locations
Choose a Location
Biology is a field where it’s relevant anywhere you go! Here are a few popular picks to get started:
Ecuador
One of the most biologically diverse places! The country’s friendly locals and pristine landscapes offer excellent opportunities for community outreach, conservation, botany, and wildlife internships. Unique ecosystems like the Amazon rainforest, the Galapagos Islands, and the Andean highlands provide diverse research environments.
Australia
Australia offers a wide range of placements and partnerships with leading universities in ecology, microbiology, and zoology. Interns can engage in cutting-edge research and conservation projects. Australia’s diverse ecosystems, from the Great Barrier Reef to the Outback, provide unique study opportunities.
Costa Rica
The commitment to environmental stewardship and protected national parks creates ideal conditions for studying biodiversity. Interns can work in various ecosystems, from cloud forests to mangroves, paramo, and coral reefs. Costa Rica’s rich biodiversity and focus on sustainable practices make it a haven for biology enthusiasts.

1. Get matched

Results head right to your inbox!
2. Choose a program
Sign up for a MyGoAbroad account here once you’ve found a biology internship you’re interested in, save it, and compare it side-by-side with more.
3. Decide when to go
The timing of your internship can influence your experience. Consider these factors:
- Summer. This is an ideal time for those interested in marine biology and coastal projects.
- Fall. As the season changes, it’s a great time for forest ecology and migratory studies.
- Winter. Perfect for research, non-field work-related internships (for most), or studying winter adaptations in wildlife.
- Spring. As we all know, spring is a time of new lifecycles. This part of the year is best for observing seasonal changes and plant biology.
4. Funding & scholarships
Fill out this scholarship and deals application on GoAbroad, and see what’s available to you if you’re in need or interested in financial support!
