SAF Internship Program Highlights

An internship program might be the perfect way to get an idea of what it's like to work in your ideal career field. SAF arranges unpaid academic internships with reputable companies to give students a taste of the real world and put their classroom knowledge into practice. Gaining job experience at a foreign company via an internship is a great approach to broaden your career prospects.

SAF and IES Abroad work together to provide fulfilling internships across the globe. Full-time semester internships are offered in cities like London and Barcelona, and shorter programs like the UC Berkeley summer internship are available as well. 

Some of the perks of an academic internship include:

• Earning 3 academic credits.
• Immersing yourself in a three-month internship with a local organization or company.
• Setting career objectives and evaluating their alignment with your long-term plans.
• Experiencing life in a foreign country.
• Exploring the complexities of your desired industry.

Things Needed for the Application

The time of year and duration of absence from your home university are essential factors to consider while studying abroad. Application deadlines for most programs are a few months in advance, and they follow the host institution's academic calendar. You need to fulfill the program's entrance standards while applying to study abroad, and SAF can help you do just that.

Prospective students will find all the necessary information to complete their application. This includes language proficiency scores to prove your language skills, a range of GPAs to aim for and other academic prerequisites, and a list of all the documents you must submit. Along the way, you'll be asked to provide more details via email or the student portal.
