While I was surfing on the net looking for an international internship I found this interesting ranking by Business Week (BW). This is a list of companies in which an internship it’s not make some photocopies, arrange mails and fetching coffes. This is the 50 best internship ranking worldwide. As a business student you would probably be interested in that!

In order to make a meaningful internship ranking, Business Week screened those companies according to some particular principles as the information given on pay, the number of interns that each company recruits and how many interns are offered a full-time job. Next, they judged the company based on three criteria: the internship survey that is completed by employers, their ranking on Best Places to Launch a Career (another Business Week ranking), and the undergraduate student survey arranged by their partner, Universum Communications.
If you’re a business student looking for the highest paid international internship, then the best opportunity to make good money as an intern is in investment banking. With an average hourly wage of 26$, the five investment banks on the ranking offer their interns the highest pay.
Moving to the top of the list, the “Big Four” are placed in the top five. PricewaterhouseCoopers tops the list, followed by Ernst & Young and Deloitte & Touche. KPMG comes at No. 5, right behind financial-services powerhouse Goldman Sachs (GS).

Finally, this is half of the list of the companies. For some companies in the Business Week ranking I put the industry in brackets since they could be not known by a student outside US:
