TAIPEI, TAIWAN
Long term, paid placements
This groundbreaking ‘Year in China’ programme enables students and recent graduates to complete a paid placement year in Taipei for the first time. Alongside the minimum working hours required to accredit the placement, InternChina works with the student, host company and university to ensure placements fulfill academic requirements and workplace health and safety standards. Placements are paid and include unrivaled pre-departure and on-place support from our experienced team
TAIPEI, TAIWAN
The Destination
Consistently ranked as a top global city for expats, there’s arguably no better place to spend 6-12 months gaining work experience than Taipei. A bustling melting pot of Chinese, Japanese and Korean cultures all surrounded by beautiful beaches and luscious green mountains.
TAIPEI, TAIWAN
Independence, with support on hand
Our low programme fee enables us to offer the essentials such as insurance, visa processing and on-site support, but allows students to spend their salary on accommodation and activities as they see fit. Our team in Taipei offers all the support you’d imagine from a Pagoda Projects experience; airport pickup, orientation, emergency support and accommodation assistance.
INTERNVIETNAM
Beyond Work Experience
With extensive experience and a passion for Vietnam, our team are there to ensure the students make the most of this fantastic internship opportunity.

INTERNVIETNAM
The Destination
Ho Chi Minh City is, in our humble opinion, the most exciting destination in Southeast Asia! Bursting with cafes, craft breweries, street food, markets and mopeds, the city itself is full of colour and energy. With beaches, mountains and other countries such as Cambodia, Laos and Thailand only a bus-ride away. Kick off your Southeast Asia experience with an internship in HCMC!
INTERNVIETNAM
Unrivalled Support
Our professional and approachable team of permanent staff in the UK and Vietnam offer support before, during and after the experience to ensure that every aspect of our programme exceeds expectations. We are student-focussed, meaning that not only do our programmes offer incredible value, but we can point students in the direction of funding and ensure their budget goes as far as possible once they’re in Vietnam.
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
¡BIENVENIDO A MÉXICO!
Mexico Summer Internship Programme
New for 2019, Pagoda Projects are proud to announce an exciting internship programme in Mexico City. The programme consists of a 1-week introduction to Mexican Culture, Politics & Economy, followed by an 8-week internship.
HOW ARE WE FUNDED?
01.
GOVERNMENT FUNDING
Through partnerships with the British Council, Education New Zealand and projects funded by Australia’s New Colombo Plan, the cost of many of our programmes is covered through government funding. We also work with in-country partners to deliver projects working with local university & government organisations.
02.
UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIPS
We work with numerous high-profile universities from all over the world, whereby our programme is paid for on behalf of a number of students by their university. We manage every element of the programme; promoting the opportunity, screening applications, pre-departure briefing, on-site support and alumni networks.
03.
CORPORATE FUNDING
Particularly for our long-term internship programmes, corporate partners (including internship host organisations) fund our programmes on behalf of the participants. We are always seeking more corporate partners to support our work.
04.
STUDENT SELF FUNDING
Every year a number of students & recent graduates pay us to provide support, internship provision, insurance, visa processing & accommodation in our exciting destinations. We signpost students to external scholarships & bursaries, should they not qualify for our government, university or corporate funding streams.
