Really great！I can learn a lot from it and this experience is cool！

I learned a lot and setting up the program was very easy.

I greatly enjoyed my time abroad with this program. The local team was amazing and all the people I lived with will be forever friends. I couldn’t recommend Tanzania enough. I did a medical internship in Tanzania for 3 weeks. My criticisms were that my time in the hospital was very hard to follow as much of it was in Swahili, additionally I think this experience would’ve been better if I was farther along in medical school as there wasn’t much teaching, more watching and helping with things you already know how to do.

I personally think that the internship here is very suitable for first and second year university students. Great for you to explore future career paths. The airport pick-up and other arrangements are very well planned, and the internship content is also very relaxing!

InternHQ delivered an amazing internship experience, combining real-world professional development with exceptional support throughout. From the beginning onboarding procedure to the conclusion of my placement, everything was handled with care and quickness.

The team was communicative and responsive, ensuring that I was matched with a placement that suited my interests and ambitions. Once in New York, I felt supported and ready to tackle both the workplace and the city itself. The placement was important, and I was assigned responsibilities that allowed me to truly contribute and learn—rather than merely observe.

A special thank you to Marc Nelson, whose guidance and support were invaluable during my internship. His professionalism, support, and response helped me feel grounded and confident throughout the process.

InternHQ always made me feel like they were genuinely interested in my experience. Their team was responsive, thoughtful, and clearly committed to each intern's success. I would highly suggest this program to anyone searching for a meaningful and respected internship abroad.

Would recommend Intern Abroad to anyone, had such an amazing experience and internship with them. There was support all the way through, from the first moments of interviewing for a role, right through to the last day, and even after the experience. I was lucky enough to have Marc from Intern Abroad coordinating the whole process for me, he took care of absolutely everything and was incredibly helpful, couldn’t have asked for more. I was placed at one of the top Real Estate firms in NYC and learned so much from the time I spent there. So if you’re thinking of doing an internship I wouldn’t look anywhere else other than Intern Abroad HQ.

This experience was something that I will absolutely never forget! From the moment that I arrived in Peru, I felt extremely welcome. The local team did an incredible job letting me know the cultural norms, popular food items, and other recommendations for the duration of my stay. The work in the clinic itself was unbelievable! I was able to grow so much in my knowledge of physical therapy by observing and helping the physical therapists. I can't wait to use what I learned as I continue my education back in the United States. My homestay was also beyond spectacular. I was able to live with a local family while also living with other students from around the world. With the family we ate typical Peruvian meals, attended cultural events, and explored the city. I can't recommend Intern Abroad HQ enough! It was truly a life-changing opportunity!

The help from the intern abroad HQ team as well as the incredible location that I was in made the experience amazing overall

I felt so supported, safe and protected throughout the process and was very impressed with how quickly and kindly InternHQ responded to my questions. The Local Team was amazing and I couldn’t imagine doing this internship without the people that helped me along the way, especially integrating with a new culture in a new community.

The local team had created such a welcoming and pleasant experience during my time there. Additionally, my hostel mates were some of the best people to spend time with and I was lucky to be able to create such a genuine connection with them. The people of Tanzania were almost always kind and joyful to be around us foreigners, especially the kids! The joy I had the pleasure of experiencing here will be like no other.

My internship at Metropolitan General Hospital in Athens was truly an unforgettable experience. I had the rare opportunity to observe numerous surgeries across various specialties, including cardiovascular, orthopedic, neurological, and plastic surgery. Being able to witness such a wide range of procedures gave me valuable insight into medical practices that I wouldn’t typically have access to in the U.S.

Beyond the hospital, I was able to explore the beautiful country of Greece, meet incredible new friends from around the world, and immerse myself in a different culture. The connections I made—both professionally and personally—were incredibly meaningful, and this experience has greatly expanded my perspective on healthcare and global medicine.

Overall, this internship not only enriched my medical knowledge but also gave me memories and relationships I’ll cherish for a lifetime.

I applied for an internship in a Human Rights NGO (in the legal field) as part of my academic program. I specifically specified that I needed to do an internship under the supervision of a jurist and do legal work.
They assured me that I would be working with lawyers. I kept asking for more information about the NGO I would be joining and the names of my future supervisors, but I didn't receive any details until I arrived.
On my first day, I realized that the organization was not a Human Rights NGO as I had expected; it was actually an NGO supporting small cooperatives in their business endeavors. Additionally, the managers were not aware of my arrival and had not received any information about me or the conditions required for my internship to be accepted by my university. There were no lawyers or legal experts working in the NGO; my supervisor was an economist. My daily tasks involved translating documents and correcting spelling mistakes. When I addressed the issue, they shifted the blame onto me and instructed me to reach out to by myself to find another internship on my own. It's funny because I went there thinking I had secured an internship, which, in reality, did not exist. Regarding the accommodation, the staff were extremely rude to us. They refused to give us our room keys, treating it as normal that we did not receive them. All the interns were located on the ground floor, where people sometimes mistook our rooms for another common area. As a result, they would occasionally enter our room, which contained important belongings. The food was left in the sun all day and served cold at night, often with a garnish of insects. The riad lacked security, with both the front and back doors left wide open, allowing anyone passing by to enter easily, especially since we were on the ground floor. Additionally, we were not served the same food as the other residents in the riad. An intern had her passport stolen. We found dirty socks that weren’t ours under our bed, which clearly indicated that people were coming into our rooms and sleeping in our beds. Now, I have come back from this horrible experience and requested a refund, which they have denied me.

Intern Abroad HQ is a fantastic organization if you are looking for a program abroad to observe what you love! I went to Valencia Spain for two weeks observing in a physiotherapy clinic. Intern Abroad HQ made the whole process easy to complete and gave me tons of support the whole way from beginning to end. Everyone was so kind and had answers to all my questions. They were incredibly organized and kept me in line with all that I needed to do on my end. Not to mention the local team was so incredibly welcoming, also organized, and made me feel very cared for. They brought my mind to ease because they were a very secure safety net for me if I ever needed anything. They provided me a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget!

My remote internship was a highly valuable and enriching experience that allowed me to contribute meaningfully to bottlenose dolphin research. My supervisor was incredibly supportive, patient, and provided clear, constructive guidance throughout the project. The structured workflow and consistent feedback helped me stay engaged and feel like an integral part of the team, despite working remotely. This experience not only enhanced my technical skills—particularly in data analysis and research methods—but also deepened my understanding of how impactful conservation work can be. It has inspired me to continue developing in this field and to actively seek opportunities where I can contribute to wildlife conservation efforts.

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!

My internship with Intern Abroad HQ and A-Massar in Jordan was a positive experience that delivered what it promised. The application process was handled efficiently, with clear communication from Intern Abroad HQ throughout the paperwork stages.

Arriving in Jordan, I was met by the local team who helped settle me into a comfortable apartment that served as a good base for the duration of my stay. Having meals prepared by our cook was convenient and allowed me to focus on my internship without worrying about daily logistics.

The cultural orientation provided by our guide was informative, offering a better understanding of Amman and its surroundings than I would have gained on my own. The visits to local sites were interesting and added context to my overall experience.

One practical benefit was the travel insurance included in the package. When I experienced an allergic reaction that required minor eye treatment, the coverage proved useful and saved me from unexpected medical expenses.

While the program did come with a significant price tag, I found it to be a fair value considering the support provided. The professional connections I made during my internship have been valuable, and I've maintained contact with several colleagues since returning home.

This wasn't a life-altering experience, but it was certainly a worthwhile professional opportunity that enhanced my resume and provided good exposure to working in a different cultural environment. If you're considering an international internship with proper support systems in place, this program delivers what it advertises.

Just a practical tip: check your existing insurance policies before departing to avoid any duplicate coverage.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I applied for a remote internship which was due to start in March. I paid my deposit and everything, however shortly after I had did that
I was declared unfit to work by my doctors and told I would need to attend regular appointments.
I contacted my program leader and was given no care throughout our conversation.
Have also been constantly ignored from emails which I have been sending.
Now I’m down over £400 because of this company.

Horrible customer service. I would have at least expected some sort of care when I explained my situation but was given now

In my experience it was great a little bit expensive but they gave me the medical rotation in the country of my dreams! I recommend a 100% very helpful and stress less.

Got to shadow and meet many friendly, professional, and helpful surgeons! My favorite part was shadowing the operating room at Greece Metropolitan General Hospital and Seeing Interventional Radiology treatments on the heart! Athens is also beautiful and full of rich, delicious, affordable food

I think this internship opportunity is a solid choice for anyone who is struggling to find local opportunities. The main barrier is of course the cost, but you do benefit from being guaranteed an internship instead of wasting your time trying to find one and maybe coming up short. The communication was a bit spotty at times but there were plenty of emails to make sure I was able to get started with the program. My actual supervisor was great and I think I learned a good amount. Also, it's nice that you don't actually have to submit anything meaningful for the weekly tasks (after starting) because I didn't feel those were helpful.
