Internship Abroad FAQ

Abroad Internships is a Rotterdam-based internship placement agency helping students find internships abroad since 2008. We match students with internship abroad opportunities in 30+ destinations worldwide and handle everything from the search to the paperwork, so you can focus on getting ready. With 1500+ successful placements, we know what it takes to turn "I want to intern abroad" into a confirmed placement and a plane ticket.

Getting started is simpler than you'd think. You register with your CV and motivation letter so we can get to know your study background and goals. Once you've secured your spot with a down payment, our team actively approaches companies in your chosen destination and field, handling all the contact and negotiation on your behalf. From there, we guide you through the contract, visa information, and housing tips, all the way to departure.

Internship abroad cost works on a transparent flat-fee model: €595 for internships within Europe and €695 for destinations outside Europe. This one-time fee covers active mediation, application coaching, contract support, visa information, and housing tips, plus support throughout your placement. No hidden extras, because knowing exactly what you're paying for is part of feeling confident about the whole step.

Quite a few, actually. We offer internships abroad in more than 30 destinations across six continents, from popular choices like Spain, Ireland, and Germany to further-flung options like Japan, Australia, Curaçao, and South Africa. Whether you're dreaming of an internship in Barcelona or want to challenge yourself somewhere further from home like Dubai or New York, there's a good chance we already have a network there.

We've been an internship placement agency since 2008, guiding students through internships abroad for over 17 years and counting. Our team is made up of former interns and world travelers ourselves, so we understand the questions and worries that come up, for both students and parents. Every placement includes practical guidance on contracts, visas, and housing, so you're never figuring it out alone.

A job board hands you a list of vacancies and leaves the rest to you. We do the opposite: our team actively searches for, matches, and negotiates your internship abroad placement on your behalf, coaching you through your CV, motivation letter, and interview preparation along the way. That personal, hands-on guidance, combined with our reach across 30+ destinations, is what students and parents say they value most.

Yes, definitely. Alongside the placement itself, we help with practical logistics like contracts, visa information, and housing support, plus cultural preparation so you know roughly what to expect once you land. Parents can also reach out with questions about safety and the process, since an internship abroad is often a big step for the whole family, not just the student.

It depends on your destination, field of study, and how flexible your timeline is, but the sooner you register, the more options we can explore. Popular application windows, like September placements, fill up faster than students expect. Reaching out early through WhatsApp or the application portal gives our team the most room to find a placement that genuinely fits you.
