Island Internship, explained plainly.
Island Internship is an Amsterdam-based placement provider for European university students seeking structured internships in Bali and Sri Lanka. This page is a concise reference for prospective students, families, universities, and researchers.
Who it is for
The programme is designed primarily for university students with a required internship or placement component in their degree. Students are matched by field, background, timing, and destination; it is not a job board or a DIY internship directory.
What the programme includes
The core service is placement matching, an official internship agreement from the host company, a named supervisor, and documentation that students can submit to their university. Full Support also adds arrival and housing coordination. Exact inclusions, exclusions, and current prices are on the pricing page.
Fields and destinations
Students can be matched in business and sales, marketing and brand, design and product, engineering and technology, science and sustainability, and hospitality and operations. Bali is the primary destination; Sri Lanka is also available for selected placements. See the full track guide.
Important limits
Island Internship helps students prepare documentation commonly required for university approval, but a university—not Island Internship—decides whether a placement receives credit. Visa eligibility and requirements depend on nationality, destination, and dates, so students should verify them with the relevant official authority before travel.
