Gain invaluable career benefits

An internship abroad is an excellent investment in your future. Working abroad means gaining interesting insights into the local working environment and culture, gaining practical work experience and improving your language skills.


Build your CV/Resume


In addition to gaining valuable work experience, an internship abroad equips you with a number of special skills that are particularly well recognized by recruiters. International experience is important for many companies as it shows that the applicants have already settled in a foreign country - in a foreign culture, and that also in relation to work. Also, the so-called soft skills, so the social competence, are always trading higher. A completed internship abroad shows that you are motivated to avoid any hurdles.


Gain relevant industry experience


Your internship abroad enables you to experience the unique characteristics of a certain company, industry or country first-hand.In turn, this allows you to develop good instincts for international businesses, which will help you to evaluate future situations and tasks from different angles.


Work project-based


No matter which of our programs you choose, practical, hands-on tasks and projects are in the center of your internship. Some things can not be learned from books. From day one, you will be involved in real case projects to experience the challenges and opportunities of your own dream role.

Networking


Many university students have almost no contact with the business community. So if you leave university, you start from scratch and you have to build up contacts to companies with difficulty. Our program gives you a head start for your future career, even while you're still enrolled in college. We'll show you how to automatically make important contacts in your field and you can build a network. Maybe the people you meet today wants to be your bosses, work colleagues or business partners in the future. 


Feedback and Supervision


New interns receive comprehensive support from day one. Specifically, your personal career advisor will take care of your career development with your partner company. Additionally, you will receive an informal mentor who will assist you in getting used to the new job. Of course, you will receive feed back on each project and also at the end of the program. We also emphasize on career planning, often offering future development in your host company.

Why going abroad?

Our Bespoke Program gives you the chance to participate in real-life projects on any of our three countries. This provides our students with a unique opportunity to experience firsthand the emerging markets of the Middle East or China, develop a broad network of contacts across multiple continents, and work with our company partners to solve real business cases. A truly life-changing experience that only Bespoke can deliver.

Grow intercultural skills


Intercultural competence also plays an important role, as you will learn to deal with cultural differences through close contact with the culture of your destination country. In times of globalization and in our multicultural society, you will gain a clear advantage over those applicants who have so far spent little time abroad.


Learn responsibility and independence


or many of our students, participation in our program is the first time to gain practical and foreign experience. Hence, for the first time the student is living alone, has a supervisor and needs to take responsibility for his/her own actions. To achieve this is certainly hard work for a young student - but the courage and effort pay off quickly. In our experience, successful participants exhibit a high erself-confidence, independence, and motivation compared to fellow students, they are much quicker in adapting to professional and personal changes and ultimately have a better idea of their personal and professional future. All of these are skills that you have to experience in person and as a parent are difficult to teach.


Increase your employability


Experience equals employability in a competitive job market, and internships give you the experience needed to stand out. You’ll have support from the Career Development team to find an internship aligned with your interests.You’ll also have access to career events so you can explore your options and hone your networking skills.

Improve your foreign language skills


With our internship you not only enhance your CV, you’ll acquire important local language skills, giving you a head start in pursuing your dream career. No matter where you do your internship, English will be the primary working language. However, depending on your course center location, we will teach you the essentials of the local language as well.
