Ask HN: Non US Engineering Internships?

I have a son that's a sophomore at a US state college in Chemical Engineering. He is motivated and has good (3.9) grades.

The school has a requirement for either a study abroad, or intern abroad period. Unfortunately, they have little to offer to meet the requirement. One "approved" company, and zero info in housing, visas, costs, etc. Grr.

His "academic advisor" is totally useless on the matter. Bonus points for suggestions that would minimize my costs. Biased, but he's a crazy smart kid that would add more value than he drains. I'd happily match him up with any of you on organic chem, calculus, etc. He truly has talent.

My son would love to be an intern in the UK, Germany, Dubai, France, etc, but Google is failing me on what companies might offer this. Keep in mind that "chemical engineer" is a pretty broad scope. He could intern in pharma, nuclear, silicon level chip issues, oil and gas, battery tech, food additives, etc.

Any insider knowledge or advice?
