The best countries for internships abroad, matched by discipline: ten cities across finance, tech, manufacturing, and the arts, each with a named source.
This is Part 4 of The Internship Edge; the handout. When an intern comes home, this is the piece your office or career center gives them, because the placement was only half the work. The other half is the telling.
Global internship programs for universities — without building a placement office. The design framework, the objection-killers, and the 2027–28 pilot path.
This is Part 2 of The Internship Edge, written for the study abroad and career offices that field the question, and built to be forwarded. When the next student asks, “how do I actually do an internship abroad?”, this is the link you send.
Student interest in study abroad internships jumped 50% in a year while under half of US colleges offer them. Why the internship abroad is the 2027–28 opportunity.
This is the final part of Reading the Signals, our five-part series for study abroad offices planning 2026–27 and beyond. Parts 1–4 traced demand, cost, safety, and destinations. The series ends where student motivation increasingly begins careers.
This is Part 4 of Reading the Signals, our five-part series on the newest 2026 US study abroad research. Parts 1–3 covered demand, cost, and safety. This part reads the destination map those forces drew.
This is Part 3 of Reading the Signals, our five-part series for study abroad offices planning 2026–27 and beyond. Part 1 read the demand data; Part 2 took on cost. This part covers the concern that carries the most emotional weight in every family conversation: safety.
The research we unpacked in Part 1 of this series put figures on what every advisor already knows: cost is the first barrier students’ name, and most families are budgeting for a five-figure total before they ever open an application. This post moves from diagnosis to response — because study abroad costs in 2026-27 are less a pricing problem than a communication problem, and communication is entirely within an office’s control.
This is Part 1 of Reading the Signals, a five-part series decoding the newest 2026 research on US study abroad — Terra Dotta’s fifth annual Voice of the Students survey and IIE’s Spring 2026 Snapshot — and turning each finding into practical guidance for study abroad offices. Where our Disruption Playbook series mapped a crisis, this one maps the recovery.
