Internships in top European countries

Europe is great. No, really, Europe is great. If humanity originated in Africa, it grew and developed in Europe. Even when we study history, we talk most about that part of the globe. Now, despite the advanced United States and actively developing China, Europe is still the center of the world, and who wouldn't want to be educated in the center of the world? In this article we will look at the leading EU countries and try to break down their pros and cons in the eyes of the person going for an internship.

Germany

Germany is a phenomenal country. The hard work and tenacity of the Germans is well known around the world. Twice in the twentieth century, Germany's economy went into decline because of wars, and twice the German people picked it up in virtually 20 years. No wonder Germany is now the richest country in Europe. If you are like a true German, ready to work hard, do everything on time and never complain, an internship here will be the most comfortable for you. Also in Germany there is quite a wide Russian community, so even if you get homesick and bored compatriots, you can always find support. But it is important to remember that Germany, like all countries in Europe, is quite expensive to live in. Moreover, the Germans save on almost everything: water, electricity, heating. This life would appeal to a true ascetic, but if you are not one, you might want to look for something else. It is worth mentioning and about German language: of course, the majority of the population speaks English pretty well, and therefore it will be enough for you, but if you want to improve or even learn German from scratch, be prepared for the fact that in different federal states it will be different, some dialects are so different from the classic German, that even the Germans have trouble raising their compatriots.

France

As is commonly believed, France is the exact opposite of Germany. The Germans are strict and punctual, the French are cheerful and free-spirited, the Germans are patient and work, the French go on strike for the smallest of reasons. Like all national stereotypes, this is partly true, but only partly. Don't forget that we are talking about an internship here, which means study and work, and here seriousness will be demanded of you everywhere, even in France. The problem may be that life in France is even more expensive than in Germany. This may have something to do with the fact that the French are not so frugal, and therefore spending increases by itself. Also in France, most internships are still in French, English alone is not enough. Perhaps for you this would be a great reason to start learning French, because, unlike German, it is the official language for more countries because of the French colonial policy of the past.

Great Britain

This information may become irrelevant at any moment, but for now the United Kingdom, along with Germany and France, is one of the leading states of the European Union. The biggest advantage of the country is obvious. English is the only language spoken here and you will not need any other languages. Even in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, English is the language of choice. But Britain has other difficulties. Firstly, of the countries represented, it is the most expensive and there is nothing you can do about it. Secondly, it is the most difficult to get here: the British are reluctant to issue visas, even study and work visas, and the process of obtaining them is much more complicated than in any other European country. All this is for a reason: one of the most pressing problems of many European countries, namely the problem of refugees, is almost non-existent here. Life in Britain is much calmer and more measured, and education is of higher quality.

These countries are among the richest and most developed in the world, and their history is familiar to almost everyone. Because they are all beautiful in their own way, an internship in Germany, France or Great Britain would be an excellent and rewarding experience for anyone.
