The intern abroad experience

In your international internship, you'll get all the advantages and support of EF's world-renowned language schools. You'll live with a host family or in the school's dormitories while studying your foreign language with our expert language teachers. You'll make friends from all over the world who, like you, are interested in experiencing cultural immersion. You'll take part in workshops to help you develop your job potential in the international market. And you'll make contacts and gain experience interning in a local business or organization.

EF internships abroad are best suited to people who:

  • Want to experience what it's like to work abroad and operate in a foreign language
  • Would like to develop their language skills through classroom instruction
  • Are interested in attending professional development workshops with students from all over the world
  • Have some training in a foreign language and are older than 18

The EF Internship Course is offered in Barcelona, Beijing, Madrid, Malaga, Nice, Paris, Rome and Shanghai. We also offer a volunteer course for students seeking experience outside of the professional workplace.
