Spanish and Internship - Professional Work Experience
in Barcelona, Madrid, Salamanca or Seville

An internship or professional orientation is one of the best ways to explore what job you might like to choose after university. An internship in Spain will not only build your CV and language skills, it will give you a firsthand look at the world of work and everyday life in one of Europe's fastest growing economies; that is why you could learn Spanish and be working in Spain.

Combining high level language study and professional work experience

This program offers you the unique opportunity to gain professional work experience abroad. You will learn Spanish business protocol and will do business in a culture completely different from your own while you gain fluency both in formal Spanish and professional jargon.

This combined language and work experience program is designed to promote the acquisition of high level Spanish skills while providing hands-on professional work experience and complete immersion in Spanish within a professional office environment. We consider giving you the most realistic experience possible as an essential part of the program. Entrance requirements are high, admission is competitive, and a high level of classroom and job performance is expected. A Spanish and work experience internship in Barcelona is an example of this program.

Committed to your success

During your internship or professional orientation, we're with you every step of the way. You'll have weekly meetings with our internship team from the first week you arrive, to define your area of interest, develop your Spanish CV and practice with you in mock interviews.
