Public Administration & Government Internships

Nations might have borders, but that’s no barrier to finding a first-rate overseas internship! From Capitol Hill to Cape Town, there are no boundaries to the myriad of opportunities to discover your ideal government internship abroad.

New Zealand. Where else can you go surfing, snowboarding, sailing, hiking, bungee jumping, caving, and watch a rugby match all within a 100-mile radius? New Zealand, also known as Aotearoa, is a great destination for nature lovers and adrenaline junkies alike! As one of the world's most stable and well-governed states, there’s heaps to learn for those fascinated with policy and law during international public administration internships. From subtropical forests and hot springs to fjords and glaciers, the breathtaking scenery alone is worth the plane ticket. Packed with unique, unusual, and—importantly—non-lethal wildlife, it’s great for those who want a taste of the Antipodes without the giant spiders!

Germany. From the spectacular Alpine scenery to the frenetic underground clubs, the cultural kaleidoscope that is Germany offers so much more than bratwurst and beer! Spawning brilliant artists, scientists, inventors, and philosophers over the ages from Einstein, to Goethe, to Beethoven, the dedication to excellence permeating every industry is the ultimate backdrop to a government internship abroad. A founding member of the European Union and the fourth largest economy in the world, Germany is in a unique position of global influence; and as one of the most progressive countries in the world in environmental protection policy, it’s also a great destination for those with a passion for the environment!

Argentina. Street-side tango, horseback riding with gauchos, skiing the Andes’ highest snowbound peaks, catching a fútbol (soccer) game—it’s not possible to be bored in Argentina! While traversing the wetlands, glaciers, forests, and steppes you’ll encounter a spectacular variety of wildlife to rival the stunning landscapes, from flamingos and capybaras, to whales and giant anteaters! As the second largest economy in South America and the world’s largest Spanish-speaking country, bagging one of the international public administration internships in Argentina is a brilliant opportunity to make professional connections in a rising global power, perfect your Spanish, and have the time of your life.
