When looking for a suitable internship abroad, you should exercise caution when dealing with placement agencies. Agencies such as Praktikawelten or Projects Abroad offer a good service at first glance, but they also charge for it.
Furthermore, you are not always guaranteed to get exactly the internship you want or that your internship regulations dictate.
