Abroad Internships

I am an African university student. In my university we have a 6 months compulsory internship period in your 3rd year. I really want to do my internship abroad, specifically the UK because I feel like the path will be the easiest for me. I am a tech student, I am studying software engineering but I’m currently trying to branch into cybersecurity and pratice software/application security. My internship period starts next year(2027) January/February and honestly o don’t know if I will be ready by November at least to start applying for internships or how I would even apply. I’m honestly very lost and confused in this journey so u just want to know people that have have done their internships abroad, regardless of the country and course like how did you do it? And do you have any tips for me?
