Having the opportunity to work abroad is great for your personal development and your CV. Employers will be impressed with the fact that you have managed to live in a different culture, use your initiative, develop your independence and enhance your communication skills.

Things to consider:

timing: most Strathclyde students will be looking for an internship between July and September.; it's essential to check the timing of an internship - it may not fit in your summer vacation period

cost:

the internship may not be paid; unpaid internships are common in some countries

whether you have a paid or unpaid internship, you must consider other costs, for example, flights, travel insurance, health insurance, visa costs, living costs; it's likely that you as the intern will have to pay most or all of these

it's common for agencies/organisations offering to set up an international internship to charge programme fees; it's essential to calculate all costs and charges before deciding on whether to accept an international internship

eligibility: do you need a visa? is there enough time to organise the visa?

language: do you need to speak the language of the country? can you work in English?

advertising: when are internships likely to be advertised? it may not be the same as in the UK

applications: what is the application method? does your application need to be in the home language of the country; what does a CV or resume look like for this country?
