Overseas internships are broadly categorized into two types: those hosted by universities and research institutions, and those hosted by corporations and other organizations. This page introduces programs that focus on either Category 1 below or Category 2 when facilitated through an overseas university.

1. University-Based Internships (Research Internships)
Participants join a university laboratory to engage in research activities alongside professors and graduate students.
Target: Primarily students in STEM fields, though opportunities in the Social Sciences are also available.
Activities: Conducting experiments, data analysis, and assisting with manuscript/paper preparation.
Objectives: Deepening specialized knowledge, establishing a stepping stone for future graduate studies (Master’s or Ph.D.), and engaging in collaborative research.

2. Corporate Internships (Professional/Corporate Internships)
Participants are placed within local companies, startups, public institutions, or NGOs to engage in practical, hands-on work.

(Reports of Past Participants)
Some reports of past participants are available in the past students' reports page.
