Nov,29 2024

Many international students studying in China hope to gain valuable internship experience during their university years. In the previous issue, we introduced the policies related to internships for international students in China. After understanding the relevant policies, how should we begin the journey of internship job searching?

School: The Primary Path to Finding Internship Opportunities

In the "Internship Guide for International Students Studying in China: Policy Section," we learned that "internship" is a part of the teaching plan and is closely related to the educational life at the school.

When you decide to look for internship positions, you can prioritize consulting the following teachers within your school:


College ideological and political teacher:The internship positions that the international student affairs teachers know are the most suitable for international students studying in China, as these positions are specifically tailored to meet their needs.

Your Instructors/Teachers:Teachers are often in close contact with enterprises and companies related to the major, and it is also a good choice to ask them to help provide internship information.

You can also search for and pay attention to the university's official website.


Job Search Websites: An Effective Path to Finding Internship Opportunities


In China, many large job search websites publish internship opportunities. 

It's important to note that when you find an internship position through channels outside of your school, you must contact your school teachers to confirm that this internship can be recognized as part of your educational program. Typically, this responsibility falls on the international student affairs teachers or academic affairs teachers at the school.


Company Posting: A Direct Path to Finding Internship Opportunities

Company Information Release Channels

Many large companies, especially those with internship positions for international students in China, often have their official channels for posting opportunities: company websites or official WeChat public accounts.

By following the official websites or public accounts of your preferred companies, you can stay updated on the release of internship opportunities.

In addition to the methods mentioned earlier, some internship-related WeChat public accounts frequently share various internship opportunities. You can follow accounts related to your city's talent market and those focused on internships and employment for foreigners to get updated information.

Don't worry if the internship positions you find don't specifically mention being for international students. In fact, many large companies do not differentiate by nationality when posting internship opportunities. You can focus on the job's language requirements and whether the work content is related to your experience or home country. Such positions are worth trying for.


A meaningful internship experience not only helps you clarify your academic direction but also lays a solid foundation for entering the workforce in the future. After mastering the methods for finding internship opportunities, you're one step closer to starting your internship journey.
