Law Internships Abroad
Why a Law Internship Abroad is Right for You
Gaining a profound understanding of Law within a global context is pivotal for your long-term career success. Our international Law internships are crafted to broaden your horizons while equipping you with vital professional skills. We tailor our internships abroad to align perfectly with your existing experience, educational background, and future aspirations.
We advocate for a hands-on approach, urging employers to minimize “administrative tasks” and instead provide you with engaging and impactful projects. As a Law intern, you may find yourself immersed in diverse responsibilities, including legal research, drafting legal documents, case preparation, and more. Law remains one of our most popular and sought-after career fields, with internship opportunities available across many of our locations.

Earn Credit For Your Internship Abroad
AIFS Abroad’s international internship program is designed to complement your college degree. You can earn college credits through your home institution, our school of record, or specific location-based opportunities.
How it Works
Step 1
Apply
Submit your application and start working with your Admissions Counselor. We will have an interview to learn about your career goals, educational background, and location preferences to ensure that you are a good candidate to intern abroad.
Step 2
Accept
Once your interview and application are complete, you’ll be cleared to apply. Your Admissions Counselor and our Placement Team will determine if we’re able to match you with a great host employer in your chosen destination. If accepted, this means we can guarantee you an internship within your career field.
Step 3
Enroll
After acceptance, the next step is to simply enroll into the program with your initial deposit to secure your spot. Enrolling means you have officially decided to join the program and take on the challenge and thrill of living and becoming an intern abroad in a new city!
Step 4
Prepare
Before you arrive in your host city, you will work one-on-one with your Program Advisor. They work with you on professional development, career advising and make sure you are ready to move and intern in your new home.
Step 5
Interview
We will start the match-making process and narrow down employers to a select few that you would be a great fit for. You’ll have a Skype or phone interview before you leave, so they can get to know you, and you can get to know them. If everything goes well, then your internship is confirmed! You’ll know where you’ll be interning and the role you’ll be walking into before you hop on the plane.
Step 6
Arrive
When you’ve arrived in your city, you will meet the Location Coordinator and the other interns at your housing. Your internship will start soon after you’ve arrived and there will be social events and excursions throughout the course of your program. We strive to give you the independence you want with all the support and resources you need to be successful during your travel and internship.
Getting started is simple! In just a few steps, you’ll be on your way to building your resume and gaining critical hands-on experience.
Note: The vast majority of our internship placements are unpaid.
