Because it is such a highly valued profession, you can intern abroad in chemical engineering throughout many different regions of the world. Keep in mind, however, that the location you choose to undertake your chemical engineering internship abroad will significantly impact the particular industries in which you might find work opportunities.

For example there will be a stark difference between chemical engineering internships abroad in the developing versus the developed world. In countries such as Japan, Australia, Germany, and the Uni t ed States you will be working within fully industrialized economies where most chemical engineering companies manufacture high level commodities.

Alternatively in countries such as Vietnam, Ecuador, Ghana, or Tanzania, you will be working a chemical engineering internship abroad within the context of an economy which is still in the early stages of development. Thus the professional applications of chemical engineering will be quite different in these areas (as will likely be the pay-grade), and you will likely be working to produce less industry-intensive products.

The countries listed above are only a small handful within the vast world of professional opportunity that awaits you as an intern abroad in chemical engineering. Start by looking through our programs listed on this page to get a good idea of the types of opportunities are out there.
