Hey, I'm a second year mechanical engineering student in Cyprus and I'm about to enter my third at the end of September.

I'm aiming to complete my Master's Degree in Aerospace Engineering at ISAE-SUPAERO in Toulouse, France.

They're a pretty prestigious institution and only accept the best students out there (10% acceptance rate), that's why I want to expand my CV with actual work. I want to do an internship in the coming summer of 2024.
I actually tried to do an internship this summer but I had to stay in Cyprus and the aerospace industry here isn't as powerful as other EU countries like France or Germany.

Do you guys have any recommendations as where I should complete my internship in the summer of 2024? (In Europe)

Thank you very much for any response

Since your goal is to pursue your master's in France, you should seek an internship with a French aerospace company.
 
Check out who your profs work with or get funded by. The easiest way to get an internship is if someone makes a phone call for you.

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
I have a specialization in condensed matter physics and materials physics, and off-late, I have been seeing a lot of research directions moving towards quantum computing (AMO and non-linear optics) and the huge chunk of quantum materials research (and funding) is dedicated towards QIS and QC research. I am wondering (sort of in a dilemma), if I should consider switching my field? I am currently at the stage of a postdoc.
