A Guide to Interning Abroad in Athens

Internships in Athens

As it is a major economic hub of southern Europe, there are many different fields in which it is possible to intern abroad in Athens. Because the city is most famous for its classical thought and ancient roots, many interns choose to look for placements in fields such as Archaeology, Museum Studies, or Art History. Those interested in immersing themselves in the modern Athens may prefer fields such as Business, Media, or Environmental Studies.

Internships in Athens come in all shapes and sizes, and usually the intern is given a good degree of flexibility in customizing their own experience. Often you can choose to intern abroad in Athens for as shorts as just a couple months or as long as a whole year, depending on your availability and professional aspirations. Many programs will also offer you the opportunity to combine your internship in Athens with the opportunity to earn academic credit in a related field.

There is one major catch to note. While English speaking internships are available in some areas, the professional community in Athens utilizes the Greek language, which will limit the amount of internship opportunities which are available to the non-speaker. If you really want the most out of your internship in Athens, then learning at least the basics of Greek should be a top priority.

A great opportunity to intern in a hospital

November 16, 2025by: Sara Herz - United StatesProgram: Medical Shadowing in Greece
10

Hi everyone, I am Sara Herz, I am a recent graduate from Virginia Commonwealth University. I got my degrees in Biology, Psychology and Chemistry. I am here in Athens, Greece on a scholarship from my college, which I am very grateful for. I picked Athens so that I would be able to meet a bunch of different people and the opportunity to intern in a hospital. Everyone here has done exactly what they were instructed to do, I really appreciate all of their help. I couldn’t have asked for a better internship and I would recommend this to anyone.
