Why an internship?
Depending on the degree you are studying, you can do a longer internship in your third or final year. It's your chance to develop your (international) work experience, and it's a chance to explore the field, find out what really motivates you and even show how well you have mastered your subjects. If it's an internship in your final year, then it may be intertwined with your thesis and you'll not only explore a question relevant to the company you're working in, but also give advice on action they could take.
