Why go on an internship abroad?
Interning abroad gives you the extra benefit of teaching you how to adapt to different conditions and situations away from home. It opens your mind to different cultures and ways of doing things. It builds up your personality and will definitely look great on your résumé.
International organisations want graduates with experience of living or working abroad. Your experience abroad will surely give you an edge when applying for a job!
An internship in Malta will help you practice and perfect your English and of course can be lots of fun! Students often say it was the best time of their lives.
It is an adventure where you make lots of new life lasting friendships from around the world sharing your experience of an internship abroad.
Most students who completed a traineeship abroad felt more confident and convinced of their abilities as a result of Erasmus. Studying abroad will have lifelong benefits in your personal and professional life. There’s nothing like standing on your own two feet to improve your confidence and personal development.

Choose a suitable font such as Ariel or Times New Roman at around size 12 to be easily legible.

Renting a Room or Apartment for your internship stay in Malta.
Our previous guests will confirm that when looking for accommodation for a month or two, accommodation with other students and even a host family is preferable to living all alone in a flat.
Shared accommodation will help you settle in faster, you will always have someone around to answer all the queries you have. It’s also great to make friends fast and have a friend to go out with on your days off.
Renting a room in a homestay either on self-catering basis or half board basis is ideal. Rates are reasonable and you have the choice of board basis. For students who want to be independent the self-catering option is suitable. It is like renting a room or bed in a flatshare with the extra benefit of dealing directly with the owner and having someone local to ask about anything you may have difficulty with.
We are always around to answer your queries but if you’d rather be left alone we are downstairs so we don’t intrude on each other’s privacy.
You will get a key and be able to come and go as you please if you are over 18.
Students who don’t feel like doing any cooking can join us for dinner from Monday to Friday. For these students the half board basis option is perfect.
Bed linen and towels are provided and you can also give us your laundry for washing free of charge. We try to make your stay as carefree as possible.
If you’d still rather be living totally on your own, our one bedroom apartment called Vista apartment could be the option for you.
