Program Reviews

I was contacted well before my internship date by my Greek contacts, who spent a lot of time getting me acquainted with where to go and how to get around. The accommodations were cozy, and everything was within walking and bus-riding distance. I had a great time and I learned a lot about the Greek culture. Everyone was warm and welcoming. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was due to a bit of confusion as to where I would do observations/shadowing. Papageorgiou Hospital experience was definitely unique. Lunch advice: eat at the hospital cafeteria! The food is AMAZING! (Also, interns and staff get a discount.)

I really enjoyed my medical internship in Madrid. InternAbroadHQ was one of the best experiences I have had. They were flexible with my university's requirements. Also, the site where I was assigned exceeded my expectations. I was able to shadow and support doctors at a clinic across several different specialties. I feel much more competent with my medical Spanish speaking skills as well as in learning more about the medical field and health policy in Spain. I hope to do another internship with Intern Abroad HQ again.

This program was such a unique experience that provided a great balance of cultural exchange and learning by living with a host family along with a professional aspect of the internship. I really enjoyed getting to work with people from all over the world and explore and travel around the country during my time off. The internship was very welcoming and flexible to my schedule with lots of time for enjoying the rest of the experience! Some of my favorite memories were learning learning new styles of dances and hearing live music throughout the country.

My experience was unique because it was flexible and laidback. Plus, the environment was positive. I enjoyed meeting with the coordinator at the times that worked for me. Also, the fact that I got the chance to learn about another culture’s values and beliefs. This internship is something that enables me to build myself professionally and personally, and it’s something that I recommend to students and non-students. Overall, this experience is worth it and I wouldn’t mind doing it again. I enjoyed so much.

My experience during this internship offered me extensive training in QGIS, along with many culturally enriching lessons. This internship involved collecting field data through game transits, vegetation surveys, and camera traps. I also collaborated with the conservation team to assess human interactions and their impact on animal behavior, generating data in QGIS alongside other professionals. Over the course of two months, I was tested both professionally and personally, deepening my skills in QGIS while broadening my understanding of local cultures and conservation efforts. My favorite moments included interacting with other international volunteers and learning about their perspectives and lifestyles. Being part of a community focused on motivation and collaboration has instilled in me numerous morals and ethics.

Working as an intern in penetration testing, this has made my experience unique; the reason being due to this collaborative team environment. Support and sharing knowledge within a team helped me a lot during my learning process. I appreciated how open each one was to questions and eager to help anyone to further improvement.

This will also help future participants understand that they get to learn more by practically experiencing things rather than merely reading about them. The more exposure I got to a variety of situations and advice from experienced professionals the greater the learning on both personal and professional levels. I would like to recommend to future interns that they should be more interactive, ask for help whenever needed, and not miss any opportunity to learn whatsoever.

I stayed a total of 3 weeks in Valencia, Spain for the physiotherapy internship and I must say Intern Abroad HQ made by experience memorable. Everything was always so organized in a way that facilitated the entire process. I had a great homestay experience and was able to meet amazing people through the program. I also learned a lot from the internship in which I gained lots of hands-on experience. I would recommend staying 4-5 weeks if you wish to gain more experience as I only really got to practice some of the skills I learned near the end of my stay.

This opportunity helped me learn more about what I want to contribute in the field of psychology. It also helped me better my team work and communication skills as I had to interact with a lot people, many of which did not speak English as a first language. Learning how to work with people and learning how to understand each other is incredibly important if you plan on working with a diverse population like myself. Open minded and empathetic is also very important. My entire experience allowed me to further instill those beliefs within myself, and the kind of person I want to be.

Intern Abroad HQ connected me with a wonderful local team in India of dedicated professionals in psychology. The coordinator and supervisor were both sweet and they check in with you regularly. They are a great, supportive team. Through this experience, I gained a variety of valuable skills in my desired field. I was able to learn practical skills that will help excel in the future. I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with such a supportive team and for Intern Abroad HQ's well-structured programs. I highly recommend their programs to students who are eager to take on an enriching and fulfilling internship experience abroad!

I felt well-prepared for my trip, which reduced the anxiety I had heading into it. I loved the easiness of signing up but receiving so much support after. Once I arrived to Valencia I still had a great support system and was able to get into the groove fairly quickly! The cultural immersion was enriching, and I formed lasting connections with amazing people. I had the best time ever while learning experiences and gaining skills that will last a lifetime. It was an amazing opportunity to grow and succeed, supported by a fantastic and dedicated team.
