Applying for internships
This section contains a non exhaustive list of suggestions for any Sri Lankan undergraduate applying for research internships.
-
AIESEC global talent makes it easy for you to get Visa for any internship (as of 2019). Talk to the AIESEC branch in your university.

IAESTE is similar to AIESEC but it is lesser known. Sri Lanka is listed in their website. While the Sri Lankan branch is situated in a particular institute, the branch is supposed to help any student. Contact the branch early and contact the global organization if they fail to help you.
