A Guide to Internships Abroad in Milan
Popular Types of Internships in Milan
Many compare Milan to New York City: despite the laidback Italian culture, Milan bustles with excitement and endless opportunities. It’s the commercial and financial hub of Italy, and it’s also one of the world’s fashion capitals. You’re bound to find the perfect placement to grow and boost your resume with an internship in Milan.
Popular fields of work. Milan screams fashion, and interns who share a passion for art and design will be in heaven. Artistic inspiration lies in everything, and interns can choose from over 2,000 industry-leading brands, designers, retailers, labels, and event companies while interning abroad. If you’d rather spend your days in the office than at Fashion Week, have no fear! The business community has internships in marketing, media, and communication too. Others may find placements in law, finance, education, or international relations as well.
Short term internships and summer internships vs. long-term internships. Most internships in Milan last between three and six months, but there are plenty of options for both short-term and long-term students. For a shorter stay, consider a summer internship abroad for ten weeks, where you can balance work with Italian lessons to get you ready for the workplace. Or if you have the time, spend a semester or two in an internship placement, up to 48 weeks, while earning academic credit!
Paid vs. unpaid internships in Milan. While some Milan internships offer a small stipend, many internships tend to be unpaid. These placements usually compensate interns with housing, meals, or accommodation. Either way, you’re sure to gain more than you ever imagined with the excellent professional work experience that you’ll add to your resume.
Life in Milan
Milan is more than just a work-obsessed city. It’s the story of Italian post-war development, living la vita moda (the stylish life), indulging in cotoletta (juicy, buttery veal), and basking in the beautiful history of Renaissance art. Students will never run out of things to do while interning in Milan.
In your free time, visit the Design Museum, explore the Milan Cathedral, Santa Maria delle’ Grazie, Duomo, or Triennale Museum to soak in ancient Italian art and architecture. Take a break to relax at a cozy café and chat with friends over a cappuccino, grab an aperitivo (after-work drink) with coworkers, or treat yourself to a feast in the land where Italian cuisine was born.
Milan is the perfect Italian city for an internship abroad, as it is much more affordable than other Italian cities. While some internship employers help organize housing in dorms or homestays, most interns rent their own apartment flats. If you split the rent with another intern, you’re sure to save enough euros to live comfortably and feast like you’re part of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper.
GoAbroad Insider Tips
While most of Italy emanates “il dolce far niente” lifestyle, literally meaning “the sweetness of doing nothing,” Milan features a fast-paced atmosphere. Despite the business, you’ll still get a taste of the laidback Italian lifestyle outside of the office as an intern in Milan. You may work hard during internship hours, but be prepared to slow down and relax when the office is closed. Locals take every opportunity to sip a glass of wine with friends while sharing funny stories or meeting for happy hour cocktails and tasty snacks. Shops and restaurants shut down from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. while the city takes an afternoon nap, but the city comes to life again late at night.
Milan authenticity comes out in the language. In other Italian cities, locals cater to tourists and speak English out of frustration with beginner Italian skills. In Milan, be prepared to speak Italian. Most internships require you to balance your placement with Italian classes since you will likely need to speak the language while working. Need more practice? Non c'è problema! Order an espresso at a café, chat with new friends over osobucco, or put on your brave face and shop at an Italian market – you’ll have plenty of opportunities to practice the language (and your hand gestures) everywhere you go!
Milan is the best location to experience modern Italy. Soak in the historical architecture, update your wardrobe with cutting edge fashion, embrace the thriving nightlife, and indulge your taste buds! There is never a dull moment when you intern abroad in Milan when there’s so much to explore.

Trip was great, would definitely recommend other people to travel to Rotterdam. Both our country coordinators were great. They were responsive and showed us around the city. I liked our housing situation too, as it was in a great part of the city.

Rotterdam 2026
June 03, 2026by: Maya Harvey - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
My time in rotterdam was truly amazing. I got to explore so many different cities surrounding rotterdam, as well as take the full beauty of rotterdam itself. We find group was amazing and provided two students that lived in the area that we were staying, and they showed us around and immediately welcomed us into the city. The relationships we formed with the students was truly amazing and they will forever now be our friends. Carlota was amazing through we find group. She was always very prompt with her responses and was always supporting us throughout the process. She went above and beyond to provide us materials to enhance our project delivery.



I had the best time!!
May 31, 2026by: Ruby Manthe - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
My trip to Rotterdam is one I will never forget!! I was placed at an amazing company where I learned a lot and had great experiences. My time outside of work was amazing, I had the best in-country coordinators that made sure we were always safe and having a great time.
Was a great experience!
May 31, 2026by: Theo Gerlach - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I had an awesome time in Spain. Not only was the size of the group perfect, but any time we had any questions, our host would be very responsive. The work itself was great, as we got experience working on real problems that these companies have.
Amazing trip!
May 31, 2026by: Ava Kolesnikov - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I had an amazing trip with so many new memories and friends! Blanca was absolutely amazing and so helpful. Madrid was gorgeous and would love to go back. My internship was not the best experience but those feelings have been brought up.
Great experience!
May 31, 2026by: Joey Mitsch - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I enjoyed very much the city of Madrid. Blanca and Cata did amazing in helping us learn the city, and they are awesome people! I met Carlota once during my presentation, and she was very nice and helpful! The location of Fuencarral was not the best because it was far from most places in the city, and there is not very much around the area. I was also upset with the disrespectful attitude of my boss at BIP. But on the other hand, multiple other workers at BIP were very nice and made the workplace environment so much better!
Best experience ever!
May 31, 2026by: Akshaya Mukkala - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
These past 3 weeks have been an amazing experience for me! Blanca Cata Carlotta and Paula made my travel and time so much easier and fun! I will definitely miss it. I do wish the accommodation was closer to the city area as getting food was hard. Other than that 10/10 for everything else!
Rotterdam is so much fun!
May 31, 2026by: Dylan Keller-Gray - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
This program was genuinely an incredible learning experience and so much fun. Our country coordinators made the experience even more memorable by helping us learn how to navigate the city and introducing us to some of the best local places to visit. I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to participate in this program—it was truly one of the best experiences of my life!
What a fun start to the summer!
May 30, 2026by: Eliza Abbott - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I could’ve of asked for a better experience abroad. I felt supported and safe while getting a valuable work experience out of it. Mathilde and Marina were great guides that introduced our group to the city and had great recommendations. This really was a great opportunity I’m grateful for.
Incredible Experience
May 30, 2026by: Rachel Perrigo - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I had such a great time in Vienna, Austria. Our in country providers, Valentina and Alex, were fantastic and always willing and able to help when we needed it. The work experience was a very valuable introduction into consulting, and the place of stay was a convenient location by the train station.
It was a great experience
May 30, 2026by: Abigail Nahum - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
micampus location was definitely the only thing that made this experience not exceptional. It was frustrating to not be able to be immersed in madrids city life compared to other fisher global programs. Although it was nice. CBRE was a great company and opportunity. Blanca did a great job as well.
I loved Madrid
May 30, 2026by: Ryan Dickson - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting

I had a great time
May 30, 2026by: Jacqueline Sterling - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I loved the placement of the company but wished their was more mentorship and more health of an environment. The location of the campus was convenient, though at time we wished we were closer to the city.

Best trip ever
May 29, 2026by: Presley Dakoff - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
Mathilda and Marina were truly the people to make this trip memorable. They were always quick to respond if we had any questions and were beyond welcoming. It is bittersweet having to leave because I made such amazing memories here. Definitely recommend this trip to anyone!
Best time of my life!!
May 29, 2026by: Nicole Vezzi - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I had such an amazing experience working in and exploring Frankfurt. Our guides, Marina and Mathilde were excellent! They were very knowledgeable, helpful and comforting! I would recommend this program to anyone who is interested in exploring a new country and wanting to work in a new environment.
An immersive experience outside of the classroom
May 29, 2026by: Chase Sprenger - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
I had a great time taking my classroom French to the real world and experiencing the differing culture. I loved our company placement and getting to know everyone there. Florencia was a very helpful guide and our housing was solid. Though the location was not as safe as we would have liked, the apartment was nice
Amazing social and professional opportunity in Milan
May 29, 2026by: Alex Start - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
Overall, the program is well structured and a great experience for students. Each company is different, and this is where I wish my team had a little more rigorous work, but we were still busy all three weeks. Only thing is students shouldn’t be expected to work on Fridays as everyone skipped those days to take weekend trips. The accommodations were nice, but some students did not get ac during a 95° heat wave
A Well-Organized and Impactful International Experience
May 28, 2026by: Jacob Tartabini - United StatesProgram: The Global Consulting Program: From University to Consulting
This program in Brussels with UPS was an outstanding professional and cultural experience. From the beginning, everything was thoughtfully organized, and it was clear how much effort Carlota, Paulo, and the We Find Group put into creating a structured and meaningful experience that balanced professional development with cultural exposure. So thank you! I especially appreciated the opportunity to work closely with UPS and gain insight into real business challenges in a global setting. The experience felt practical and immersive, offering exposure to different teams and perspectives that strengthened my understanding of international business operations. A special recognition goes to Amelie and Victor, who were consistently welcoming, supportive, and highly engaged throughout the entire program. They brought high energy and deep knowledge to every hangout, which made exploring Brussels and engaging with the program even more valuable and memorable. Overall, this was a highly valuable experience that combined professional learning with cultural immersion in a way that was well-structured, engaging, and impactful. Highly recommended for anyone considering going abroad and wanting to gain professional experience from this too. Brussels surprised me with how much I enjoyed staying there!
