A Guide to Information Systems Internships Abroad
Why Seek Out Internships Abroad
Information systems is one of the fastest growing occupations in the world, and job openings for this field are increasing by the minute. Whether you’d like to become the next Larry Page or Mark Zuckerberg, an international information systems internship will arm you with valuable global knowledge. You’ll be working in challenging environments where you’ll pick up a new language and learn cross-cultural skills that will be highly beneficial. Plus, you’ll be networking with professionals who can help you secure future jobs.
Besides, who wouldn’t want to ride the bullet train in Japan or take a gondola ride in Italy on their way to an internship? You can’t see the Berlin Wall or the Great Barrier Reef in your own country! With so many choices to choose from, you’ll be able to find short-term or long-term computer information systems internships — whether you want a taste of this field while exploring another country or you’re planning to immerse yourself to become a future expat abroad.
Locations
So many location choices, so little time. Computers may work in binary, but your choice of countries isn’t! With so many countries at your fingertips, you’ll need to decide the location that will best fit both your interests and professional needs.
China. Go outside of your comfort zone with an management information systems internships in this global powerhouse. With a booming economy that continues to grow in the technology sector, Chinese businesses are in high demand of worker bees. Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong are industrial and commercial centers that will boost your career and widen your international horizons. Savor the Eastern cultural flavors in your free time: Stroll through the Tiananmen Square, walk along the Great Wall, immerse yourself in the Yonghe Temple, and more!
Australia. The most populous cities, Sydney and Melbourne, offer urban atmospheres with plenty of growing businesses, as digital technologies are quickly transforming Australia’s economy. Plus, these two cities are cultural hot spots from the Sydney Opera House to Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens with plenty of music, film, and theatre festivals throughout the year. When you’re not exhausting your circuits at work, relax on the sandy white beaches and satisfy your wild side with adventures from surfing in Byron Bay to scuba diving in Cairns to trekking on Fraser Island.
Germany. Kick-start your career in the land of historic castles and villages. Berlin is an innovative city that brims with artsy festivals and numerous museums and historic sites. From finance to engineering, Berlin will help you gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced culture with a youthful atmosphere. Frankfurt also offers a friendly environment for young professionals with tools for entrepreneurs in an international atmosphere. The serene Rhine river, Staedel Museum, and Hauptwache plaza are a few places that will delight your eyes, to boot.
Information Systems Internships
Whether you’re looking to develop a hot new app, create a new technical innovation, or start your own business, the possibilities for information systems internships are many. With so many options around the world, you should find the route(r) that meets your interests and expectations.
IT networking companies are among the most popular to hire information systems interns. You’ll be exposed to programming and testing techniques in commercial operations. You could also pick up skills in SEO, marketing, and ecommerce. In many of these internship placements, you’ll need to be able to know some programming languages.
Web development companies are also in need of technology-savvy interns. In this internship placement, you’ll often be maintaining the infrastructure of the website and providing support for internal users. Many of these companies are looking for interns to develop web applications as well, where you can expose yourself to software engineering concepts. These companies are usually looking for interns who have used test driven development tools.
While technology-oriented companies are the most common placements for information systems interns, but perhaps you’re looking to do something more meaningful with your internship. You could also find placements working at government, educational, and nonprofit institutions, and basically in anything that interests you.
Be familiar with different types of tools, programming languages, and business terms. Internships that are more demanding with technology usually require a bachelor’s degree in a technology field, and more general internships usually require the intern to be enrolled in a university. You also won’t usually need to know the native country of the language, as most businesses know some English, but it would certainly help to know the basics of the foreign language.
Benefits & Challenges
The experiences you download from an internship abroad in information systems will be the building blocks for your career — not to mention that your resume will outshine the rest and go to the top of the stacks (we’re preaching to the choir but, “Duh!” — this field is highly competitive!). With many organizations looking for people who are savvy in technology and business, your dream job is just around the corner.
As the field of information systems covers several areas, such as business, entrepreneurship, computers, and management, you probably won’t get an in-depth coding experience with an internship abroad. You might be overwhelmed with culture shock, gender stereotypes, homesickness, and language barriers while you’re working in a new job environment as well. Be flexible and keep an open mind, you’re interning in another country, so embrace it!
Start “phishing” for international information systems internships that synchronize your qualifications with your desires. What are you waiting for? Be like the internet and get global with an internship abroad in this field!

Latest Program Reviews
A Journey to Enlightenment
August 20, 2026by: Eva Garcia - American SamoaMy experience with the Absolute Internship abroad program was incredibly valuable and memorable. Spending 6 weeks in Madrid, Spain, allowed me to gain professional experience while also experiencing a new culture, work environment, and a new sense of independence. One of the highlights of the program was the opportunity to work at Asesoria Debe Haber Asociaciones, where I was able to develop skills in establishing new nonprofit national or local organizations by working on founding their board or statutes. The internship gave me a better understanding of my career interests and allowed me to apply what I have learned in school to a real-world environment while also educating myself on how this country's system differs from that of mine and learning how this can help me build upon my current professional knowledge. Outside of work, living in Madrid allowed me to explore new places, meet people from different backgrounds, and experience the local culture. The program staff was extremely supportive and helpful, making the transition to living abroad much easier. Although there were some challenges, such as adjusting to a new environment and working for the first time at a location that aligns with my professional goals, along with a slight language barrier, these experiences helped me grow personally and professionally. Overall, I would highly recommend this program to other students considering an internship abroad. It provided me with meaningful professional experience, unforgettable memories, and a greater sense of confidence and independence.

This experience taught me the importance of adapting to different corporate cultures and allowed me to contribute meaningfully to a company with a beautiful mission.

Marketing Internship in Seoul, South Korea
August 20, 2026by: Lovely * - United StatesProgram: Social Internship in South Korea with Korea Gapyear
After graduating with a degree I wasn’t sure how to use, I found myself feeling lost. I knew I needed time to refocus and understand what I truly enjoy doing. That’s why I decided to take a gap year, to focus on myself and explore new opportunities. When I was first consulted by Korea Gap Year, I immediately felt understood. They guided me through every step of the process and made sure all of my questions were answered. Their support helped me feel at ease before and during my stay in South Korea. I came to Seoul for a one-month internship at Korea Gap Year, where I worked in marketing—my first time ever in this kind of role. I was both nervous and excited, and I truly wanted to do my best. Three years earlier, I had studied abroad in Seoul for six months, so I already had an idea of what to expect. I knew a month would be the perfect length for me this time both emotionally and financially. If I could have stayed longer, I absolutely would have, because I really enjoyed my time working at Korea Gap Year. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a Korean work environment. When I arrived, Olivia kindly introduced me to everyone and gave me a tour of the office. I was asked to present myself and share my skills so they could assign tasks accordingly. One of the things I enjoyed most was translating past participants’ stories into English and Spanish. It turned out to be something I loved, and it made me realize that I want to pursue a career in this field. My schedule was Monday through Thursday, 9 AM to 6 PM. It was definitely an adjustment especially sitting for eight hours straight but I got used to it. One thing that surprised me was how quiet the office could be. In the U.S., people often greet each other with “good morning” or “have a good day,” whereas in Korea, people just quietly go about their work. At first, I felt a bit rude not saying anything, but eventually, the introvert in me appreciated the quiet too. My main goal during this internship was to become more confident and focused on my career. While I sometimes felt frustrated knowing I had to go back home, this experience gave me time to reflect. The job market in the U.S. has been tough, and I often felt uncertain about what was waiting for me. But living alone in Korea for a month was an eye-opener. It helped me learn so much about myself. I've always struggled to express how I feel, but being here helped me open up. Being a student in Korea three years ago was a completely different experience from working here. It’s much easier to make friends as a student. As a worker, it was more difficult, but I appreciated the little moments when locals would approach me during dinner just to speak English. Some even asked about my Mexican heritage and my Spanish, which made me happy and proud to share. It was a meaningful exchange of cultures. Korean culture was breathtaking to experience again. From packed subways during rush hour to cute themed cafes and late-night karaoke, everything felt surreal. I know I’ll truly miss this lifestyle when I return home. It's definitely true when they say Seoul never sleeps! Don’t be afraid to try new things! Try new foods, drinks, visit places, and step out of your comfort zone. You’re in a different country, don't be shy. If you feel discouraged or homesick just remember that you are working towards your goal and future. I also believe your accomodation should be around a loud neighborhood so it’s not totally quiet making you feel at ease being abroad alone. Thank you, Korea Gap Year, for welcoming me as an intern. I’m incredibly grateful for all that I learned and for the support you gave me. To future participants: - Don’t overpack, unless you don’t plan on spending money in Korea. Honestly, it's hard not to! Everything is more affordable compared to the U.S. or Europe, so bring two suitcases. - Research before you go! Watch videos about getting around Incheon Airport, SIM cards, and public transportation. It’s super helpful. - Be prepared for loneliness if you’re traveling for the first time. At home, eating alone is comforting, but in a new country, it can feel isolating. Thankfully, some coworkers invited me to eat together, which I truly appreciated. - Try new things! Whether it’s food, places, or stepping out of your comfort zone. You’re in a different country! Don’t be shy. If you ever feel homesick, remind yourself why you’re here and what you’re working toward. - Stay somewhere lively. If possible, choose accommodation in a busier area. The noise and energy can help ease feelings of loneliness. What to Bring: - Seoul has tons of stores. Daiso is a lifesaver for essentials and affordable finds. - Two things I had trouble with: finding foundation that matches my skin tone, and pants that fit (if you’re tall, they may run short). So pack those ahead of time! - Don’t forget an adapter for your electronic, but don’t worry if you forget something everything’s accessible here. My Gap Year Review! Environment ★★★★★ I was not used to such a quiet working environment but it was really nice getting to experience a different working culture. Language ★★★★★ It was nice being around the Korean language as it made me learn new vocabulary but if you don’t speak it that’s okay there so many things that are translated to English. Accommodation ★★★★★ I got an Airbnb near the company which was so convenient especially during working hours it gets super busy in the subway. So, if you can get an accommodation near the company I suggest that. Safety ★★★★★ Seoul is very safe in my opinion so I never had to worry about any dangerous parts or activities but it’s still an important thing to be safe wherever you are. Learning ★★★★★ Thank you Korea Gap Year for giving me this opportunity! I learned a lot of new skills and realized what tasks I really enjoy doing. I also learned more Korean than I thought!



Best Summer of My Life
August 19, 2026by: Alexia Ahola - United StatesThroughout my 2 months living and working in Madrid, I absolutely fell in love with the city. The culture, food, social scene, and environment was unmatched. Thanks to Absolute, I met some of my best friends while abroad. I am so lucky to have found such an amazing group of people to share this experience with including our program coordinators who were the BEST. On top of my actual internship which gave me so many great connections, I truly built a life in Madrid during my time there. This summer has been the best of my life, I gained so many friendships, learned so much about myself, and experienced places and memories that will last a lifetime.

Internship in Taiwan
August 19, 2026by: CHI HSIEN SUNG - United StatesI had a great time here in Taiwan with the internship from AIP. Everyone was very kind and the food was good here. I learned a lot from my host company and would highly recommend this program to my peers 10/10 experience for sure.
Best summer ever
August 19, 2026by: Bryce Brenkus - United StatesThe internship experience in Barcelona was absolutely amazing both in the office and out of the office. Our local host Isabel was amazing when getting us acclimated to the city, as well as providing reccomendations and ensuring our safety. On top of that, her community events that she planned for our group were so much fun whether it was a day trip to the beach, going to dinner, or attractions like park guell. The internship on the other hand was a great work experience, and I learned so much about working abroad.
Great time!
August 19, 2026by: Madison Anderson - United StatesI had a great time in Berlin! I got to experience living on my own for the first time in a brand new city. Learn how to use public transportation, save money, take care of myself, and learn new things from my internship.
Eye-opening, challenging, and worth every minute.
August 18, 2026by: Hiba Lazhar - MoroccoThis internship was truly eye-opening. It was my first time in a real workplace, and it pushed me completely out of my comfort zone — from the language barrier to adapting to a professional environment for the first time. I got to apply finance in a hands-on way that no classroom could ever teach, working on real projects with real businesses. Beyond the technical skills, I learned so much about myself: how I handle pressure, how I show up professionally, and just how seriously I take my work when it matters. It was challenging in the best way, and it genuinely shaped how I see my future career path. If I could do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat.

An eye opening experience!
August 18, 2026by: MacKynley Cataldo - United StatesI had the opportunity to participate in a study abroad with Arizona State University and Absolute Internship. We spent our time in Portugal exploring different parts of the country and learning about it's deep history and global impact. It was an experience I would love to live again and has inspired a desire to explore more parts of the world!
Australian media & film internship sharpened my marketing and pitching skills
August 18, 2026by: Cassidy LampkinProgram: Affordable Internships in Australia | Intern Abroad HQ
I feel a lot more confident in my marketing skills after my 9-week Media & Film Production internship in Australia. Now, I have a better understanding of corporate environments, professional dynamics, and writing techniques. I was able to adjust my academic writing style to one that fits within the theme of marketing copy, which gave me more options when it comes to professional projects. I also have a much better idea of marketing perspectives I can bring to my work in film. Now, I know how to present approaches to specific demographics and how to appeal to general audiences. The transferable skills & practical experience gained will be a great addition to my resume as a filmmaker. I will able to contribute to strategies going forward with confidence and attention to detail in my film marketing pitches.
Sake and social writing
August 18, 2026by: Ashton Taylor - United StatesI decided to do an internship abroad through Absolute internships with a question, "can I live and work in Japan comfortably?" and I can say with confidence that the experience they provided absolutely delivered a resounding "Yes!". I was delivered a painless process duing selection, and they found me the perfect company that I could use my skills as an english and history double major to make a positive impact that was appreciated by my host company (Yukari Japan Tour, a tour company specializing in sake brewery tours) and showed me how I can be valued for the work I can do. The expereicne was made fun and relaxed with fantastic coordinators that cared about the work they were doing with us and who seemed to genuinely want the best for us as both representatives of Absolute Internships and as peers. I made some wonderful memories with both my fellow interns and my host ccompany, and I will forever be grateful to Absolute Internships for fascilitating the making of them.
Surprises in Spain
August 18, 2026by: Enid Benitez Jimenez - United StatesMy time in Spain was surprising, to say the least. When I first got to my company, there were only two people on site. This was mainly because of the difference in starting times depending on the employee. My coworkers were very culturally diverse. Some coming from the Netherlands, some from various parts of Latin America, and a Filipina woman who was raised in Spain. All very lovely people. But the work culture surprised me as it was very lax and the coworkers were very kind. I was able to make friends with my absolute peers and go out around the city exploring the culture and practicing our Spanish. Barcelona was beautiful but surprising in the way of how the pride the people feel for their home reminds me of Puerto Rico.

Reeeeally precious experience of my life
August 18, 2026by: Mengqi Jin - ChinaI had a great experience during my internship in Japan this summer. I got to work in an international office, meet people from different backgrounds, and experience working in Tokyo. During the internship, I worked on financial products, Excel workbooks, research, and legal documents. Everyone in the office was really friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. Overall, I learned a lot, became more comfortable working in both English and Japanese, and really enjoyed my time there. I’m very glad I had this opportunity!
Amazing experience!
August 18, 2026by: Sophia Sachedina - United StatesI had an amazing experience with Absolute Internship! From the beginning, the program made the process of interning abroad feel organized and supported, which allowed me to really focus on making the most of my time in Barcelona. Through Absolute Internship, I was placed with Atlex Legal, where I gained hands-on experience in immigration law, worked directly with clients, participated in client calls, and contributed to meaningful projects, including developing an immigrant integration business plan. The internship gave me responsibilities that challenged me professionally and helped me become more confident, independent, and comfortable working in an international environment. What I appreciated most was that the experience went far beyond simply having an internship abroad. I was able to experience living and working in Barcelona, meet people from different backgrounds, and grow both personally and professionally. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity and would highly recommend Absolute Internship to students who want international work experience while also stepping outside of their comfort zone and experiencing life in a new country.
Internship in Japan was fun
August 17, 2026by: Aiden Morris - United StatesMy stay in Japan for three months over the summer was super fun. I was able to learn a lot from my internship while also being able to explore Japan for all that it has to offer. My apartment was in convenient places located near Shibuya and Shinjuku.
Change your life, network, and perspective
August 15, 2026by: Victoria Gacutan - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
I will always be an advocate to intern or study abroad. No matter where you choose to go, you will leave with your life changed. The Intern Group is a reputable, reliable choice. Dublin is a great city to explore and work in, especially if you like more mid-size and communal cities. What you put into the program is what you get out, so explore and experience all you can. There’s a lot to do in Dublin, as you have both of best worlds, being by the city and sea. As an avid ocean lover, I was able to be in the ocean, but also get my city girl on which I loved. Adam and Laura were our ECs here in Dublin. They were great in coordinating social plans while getting accustomed to Dublin and if we had any questions, they were very supportive.
A Program That Truly Delivers!
August 15, 2026by: Megan Hoang - United StatesProgram: International Internships in Dublin
This internship abroad is the kind of experience that changes how you see yourself. Away from the usual routines and support systems back home, you’re forced to figure things out on your own, and that’s where the real growth happens. Navigating a new place, solving problems solo, building a routine from scratch: it teaches you more about independence than any classroom ever could. The program also gives you room to actually test out a career path instead of just guessing at it. You get to try the work firsthand and see what genuinely clicks. What stands out most is the community and the events. Everyone’s going through the same adjustment, which creates a natural closeness. People get it, and they show up for each other, which makes the hard parts a lot easier to handle. Overall, a genuinely worthwhile experience. Highly recommend.
Thinking outside the box
August 15, 2026by: Giorgia Salgarelli - ItalyProgram: International Internships in Dublin
This experience gave me so much. During my internship, I learned to see things from different perspectives and to try new things without fear also because the people I worked with were very kind, helpful and supportive. I'm very grateful for everything and experiences like this are very important because if you think that you have an open mind like this one helps to think outside the box and learn how to solve problems and new challenges without fear!
