Internship program
Students from the European Union aged between 18 and 28 and with an intermediate level of Spanish (or above) are eligible to attend our Spanish Internship programme.
The programme combines a 4-week (or longer) Intensive Spanish course with a 12-week (or longer) work experience programme in a company based in or near Barcelona.
Work experience
During the internship you are expected to work a full 38-hour week and these positions are normally not paid. However, they do provide you with the ideal opportunity to practices and develop your Spanish skills in a professional environment, and you will also develop a number of work-related skills and competencies. Work experience of this kind can obviously be an invaluable addition to your CV.
If you are interested in following an internship programme, you should apply at least 3 months in advance of your preferred starting date. This will provide us with plenty of time to find a suitable company prepared to offer the work experience component.
Application
You should indicate on your application form which sector or industry you are interested in working in (e.g. tourism, insurance, architecture, etc.). We will then do our best to find a position in a company working in your preferred field.
Please note that the more specialised the request, the more difficult it is to find a suitable company. Similarly, if you are prepared to be flexible, finding a company willing to offer work experience will normally be relatively quick and straightforward.
All students applying for an internship should send us a copy of their CV, together with a recent photo. You will also have to write a letter in English and/or Spanish explaining why you are interested in following this program.
IH Barcelona charges a non-refundable fee of €200 per student to cover the costs of finding a suitable company and supervising the internship programme.
