Internship in Japan - Asia Internship Program

I had a great experience with AIP! They were very helpful, professional, and supportive throughout the whole process of finding my company placement in Asia and after as well. The communication was smooth, and they made the process much easier and less stressful. Thanks to AIP, I was able to find an amazing opportunity that matched what I was looking for. It definitely depends on the company you get but they found a great one for me with many other interns which made my stay a lot more fun. I would definitely recommend AIP to anyone looking for an international internship or professional experience abroad!

I underwent a two month Internship as a software development intern at a Startup in Osaka, Japan. I really liked the company as I was able to do my part of the project independently, while also coordinating the overall progress with the other interns. My boss was very open to the ideas and opinions of all interns. He had a vague vision of what he wanted at the end, but the process of getting there was entirely left to us interns and I was also able to add some of my own ideas to the project. I also had a lot of time to explore Japan on the weekends, I traveld around in the Kansai region and even went to Tokio. I enjoyed getting to know Japans culture and food, while also gaining work experience.

My 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.

I did my internship in Japan during the summer. It was a bit difficult to find a company related to my area, but AIP made it possible and helped me find a good place. I had a really good experience and learned a lot from working in a different environment and living in another country. I would definitely recommend a program like this if you have the chance. It’s a great way to experience another culture, learn new things, and gain experience that can help improve your professional profile.

Thanks to AIP I had a very productive experience in Japan, the process took more time than I expected, but that’s because my job area was limited. Fortunately they found a job that fit my profile. Thank you

I can’t say enough good things about this study abroad internship program in Japan. From day one, the support team went above and beyond — helping with everything from housing logistics to navigating cultural norms at the workplace, to just checking in to see how I was adjusting. Whenever I hit a snag (and there were a few, since everything was so new!), someone was always just a message away with real, helpful guidance. Working abroad completely shifted how I see the world and myself. Culturally, I learned to appreciate the nuance in Japanese communication styles — the emphasis on harmony, indirectness, and reading context that isn’t always spelled out. It pushed me to be more observant and adaptable in ways I didn’t expect. Professionally, it was just as transformative. I picked up a whole new appreciation for structure, teamwork, and attention to detail in a Japanese work environment, and it’s changed how I approach collaboration and problem-solving even now that I’m back home. This program didn’t just give me work experience — it gave me a completely new lens for how I think about both my career and myself. If you’re considering doing a study abroad internship, especially in Japan, I can’t recommend this program enough. The team truly cares about your growth, both professionally and personally.

I enjoyed my internship in Japan a lot. I got to experience the culture, the business environment, and meet new people. I gained a lot of independence from this experience, and I would recommend it to others!

I had a great experience with AIP! They were very helpful throughout the entire process of my internship in Tokyo and guided me every step of the way. During my time abroad, they also frequently checked up on me to make sure everything was going smoothly!

Had a great experience overall. I got to work on a lot of different projects that helped me learn and build new skills. Outside of work, I explored Tokyo, experienced the culture, and met some great people. If I had one suggestion, it’d be to have more events where interns can get to know each other. Overall, it was a really fun and memorable experience.

Good experince with AIP, had a wonderful overseas internship experience at Thailand. Staff was helpful and accomodating. Prompt responses and helpful, especially with my sepcial requests. Thank you for the support.

I had an amazing experience with interning abroad through AIP. They supported me through any questions I had and the housing for the duration of the program. I had a great time interning abroad in Japan for 8 weeks thanks to this program and the wonderful advisors that helped me!

My time in Japan was an unforgettable experience. I loved exploring the culture, food, and different parts of Tokyo while meeting amazing people and learning so much. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone!

I was so incredibly fortunate to be accepted into AIP’s internship program. The people at AIP were extremely accommodating and kind and helped me navigate my way through a new country. They provided me with accommodation and a host company where I worked full-time at for 6 weeks. I spent my internship in Bangkok, and it was an amazing experience of learning, doing new things and exploring. Thank you for looking after me during the internship, I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested!

My internship experience in Taiwan was a very fulfilling one. Having the chance to work with local colleagues on various projects gave me a different perspective that extended far beyond what I was used to in Singapore. There is a difference between visiting a country as a tourist and actually living and working there. AIP provided me with the safety net and opportunity to navigate an international workplace without feeling completely on my own. I'm very grateful for the experience and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a similar experience.

I was originally a little hesitant about doing an internship abroad but AIP did a great job at making it a good experience! All the staff were incredibly friendly, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire program, from beginning to end. Whenever I had questions, they were quick to help and made me feel supported every step of the way. They also helped me secure an internship that matched my career interests and it really goes to show that they care about their program participants. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for an organized and rewarding internship abroad experience!

My internship in Taiwan was honestly one of the most meaningful and enjoyable experiences I have had. At the start, I was a little nervous because I was working in a new environment and had to adjust to a different culture and way of communicating. However, my colleagues at my company were very welcoming, patient, and willing to guide me. Through working with them, I learned a lot about teamwork, communication, responsibility, and how to adapt when things do not always go according to plan. Besides gaining useful work experience, I also had the chance to make many new friends. Spending time with both locals and other interns made the whole journey much more memorable. The most memorable for me was the trip to Fulong Bay where I cycled with the other AIP interns. We shared meals, explored different places, helped one another, and created many good memories together. These friendships were definitely one of the best parts of the internship. I also really appreciated being able to experience Taiwan beyond the usual city attractions. Travelling to Taitung allowed me to see a quieter and more local side of Taiwan, including its natural scenery, small towns, food, and everyday lifestyle. It helped me understand the culture in a deeper way instead of only seeing Taiwan as a tourist. Overall, this internship helped me grow both professionally and personally. I became more independent, confident, and comfortable with adapting to unfamiliar situations. I am very grateful for the people I met, the lessons I learned, and the experiences I gained during my time in Taiwan

My 10-week internship in Taiwan through the Asia Internship Program was an unforgettable and meaningful experience. From the application and company placement process to the pre-departure arrangements and my time in Taiwan, the AIP team, especially Nisha and Roro, was responsive, supportive, and helpful whenever I had questions. The internship gave me the opportunity to experience a real international working environment, apply the knowledge I gained in university, and develop both technical and professional skills. Working in a Chinese-speaking workplace was challenging at times, but it also encouraged me to improve my communication skills, adapt to a different environment, and become more independent. Outside of work, living in Taiwan allowed me to experience a new culture, explore the country, and meet people from different backgrounds. I am grateful for the opportunity and would highly recommend AIP to students who are looking to gain overseas work experience, broaden their perspectives, and challenge themselves both personally and professionally.

Thank You AIP for providing the smoothest Internship program in Bangkok for me. Nisha and Kate both welcomed me fully to the best of their ability and was always ready to provide help and gave good tips in getting accustomed to living abroad. They were very friendly and help a lot throughout the program.

From the moment I submitted my application for the Overseas Internship Programme until the end of my internship, the entire experience was nothing short of amazing. I truly appreciated the regular check-ins throughout the programme, as they made me feel supported and reassured that my well-being and internship experience mattered. Knowing that someone was always available to ensure everything was going smoothly gave me greater confidence during my time abroad. The support provided throughout the internship was also comprehensive and well-rounded. Whether it was before departure, during the internship, or after its completion, the programme team was always responsive, helpful, and willing to assist whenever needed. Overall, this programme provided me with an enriching and rewarding overseas experience. I am grateful for the opportunity and would highly recommend it to students who are looking to gain valuable international exposure while receiving strong support throughout their journey.

Thanks you AIP! With your support, I had the opportunity to complete an internship in Hong Kong and gain valuable international experience. The entire process was well organised, and I always knew who to contact whenever I needed assistance. A special thank you to Seth for arranging the placement and to Kate for taking such good care of me throughout my time in Hong Kong. I truly appreciate all your support!
