An international internship in Edinburgh gives you an amazing opportunity to live and work in a fascinating global city. Scotland's capital is set among towering hills, parks, and ancient buildings – many from the Middle Ages.
In Edinburgh, you’ll stay busy with internship responsibilities as well as entertained through social events and excursions. As with all capital cities, the working atmosphere can be a little more formal than in other places, although it depends on the type of workplace.
AIFS Abroad is dedicated to making your internship in Scotland an experience you’ll never forget. Students and young professionals, don’t miss out on this life-changing international opportunity!
Please note, the program fee includes a guaranteed internship, housing, social events, a career development program, 24/7 staff support, health and travel insurance, and much more.

I had a wonderful time all eight weeks exploring the city, gaining valuable work experience, and getting to know awesome people! We had awesome living conditions only a short walk away from work and in the center of the city. The location was lively but incredibly safe. Loved every minute of this once-in-a-lifetime experience!
