Ashish Goel from IIT Roorkee, who interned with TU\u00a0<em>Darmstadt in Germany in 2005, shares tips about where and when to apply for a foreign internship.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><em><!--more--><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Where to apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The entire world is an option. However, if trends are anything to go by, not too many internships are offered in USA or Canada as compared to Europe. So your best option is Europe. Getting an internship in\u00a0Germany, UK, Switzerland, France, Italy and Netherlands has the highest probability.\u00a0Some universities, institutes and research labs have annual official internship\u00a0programs. You have to find out about such programs from their websites.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here&#8217;s an indicative list of the places which offer internships:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Austria:<\/strong>\u00a0TU Graz;\u00a0Joanneum research labs, Graz;\u00a0Boku University, Vienna.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Belgium:<\/strong>\u00a0Catholic University of Leuven, Leuven;\u00a0VUB, Brussels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finland:\u00a0<\/strong>University of Joensuu, Joensuu;\u00a0University of Turku, Salo, Turku.<\/li>\n<li><strong>France:<\/strong>\u00a0INP Grenoble;\u00a0Ecole Centrale de Nantes, Nantes;\u00a0INLN, CNRS, Nice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Germany:\u00a0<\/strong>Fraunhofer Institutes, Germany;\u00a0Max Planck Society Institutes;\u00a0RWTH-Aachen;\u00a0Kiel University, Kiel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Greece:<\/strong> AUTH, Thessaloniki.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Italy:<\/strong>\u00a0University of Trieste, Trieste;\u00a0CNR, Pisa;\u00a0University of Trento, Trento.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Netherlands:<\/strong>\u00a0NIKHEF Amsterdam;\u00a0Delft University, Delft.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scotland:<\/strong> University of Edinburgh, University of Leeds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Singapore:<\/strong> NTU and NUS<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sweden:<\/strong> KTH Stockholm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Switzerland:\u00a0<\/strong>EPFL, Lausanne;\u00a0ETH, Zurich;\u00a0University of Zurich;\u00a0Amadeus Software, Lausanne;\u00a0University Of Basel, Basel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>UK:<\/strong>\u00a0University of Sheffield;\u00a0Kent University.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>When to apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Applying too early is not much use because your potential employers themselves don\u2019t know what their situation is going to be at the time when you want to start your internship. They have to look for available projects, research work required at that time, and most importantly their financial situation. But for people aspiring for internships during summers, the peak time for applying is during September and October of the previous year. So the best time to start e-mailing would be August end, or the beginning of September. And keep trying till you start with any internship next year: even if there is a late offer, you can make it. And even if you do get an offer in time, don\u2019t stop trying because you may get a better offer, and you never know what problems might crop up in your existing offer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>This article is an abridged version of the\u00a0<a title=\"Step by step guide to applying to foreign internship\" href=\"https:\/\/internshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/Internship-Abroad.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">detailed guide<\/a>\u00a0that Ashish had written back in 2006.
