CIEE Summer Global Internship in Edinburgh, Scotland
(Outgoing Program)
Spend your summer expanding your business portfolio and broadening your life experience by interning abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital and home to a thriving business sector. Edinburgh hosts key financial services and technology firms and is a major education and tourism center. It’s also the seat of the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish Government so there are many public sector opportunities alongside a thriving social enterprise sector, which offers a chance to work with purpose-driven businesses. As a result, CIEE Edinburgh offers a wide range of internship opportunities across diverse industries.
When you apply to become a CIEE intern, our staff will work directly with you to match you with an internship opportunity that suits your unique needs and professional goals.
