Didn't wanna leave, highly recommend.

I used my internship with the Intern Group in Madrid to help me secure a spot in my master's conversion course in Computer Science at the University of Bath - providing a stepping stone into helping me change to a field I desire.

My time on the internship was challenging but served as an impactful learning experience, instilling my love for software development. In turn, providing me clarification into switching from conventional classroom teaching, to now exploring the world of EdTech by making applications that can act as supportive classroom tools.

The social life in Madrid was nothing short of fabulous, on plenty of occasions I found myself enjoying not just Madrid but Spain in general with other interns that Lalita chaperoned. This included organised trips to Segovia, Toledo arranged by Lalita herself, as well as going on trips with my new found friends to other parts of Spain such as Valencia, enjoying the beach and authentic paella - not whatever they have in the UK.

In terms of recreational activities by myself outside of work, I also got the chance to pick up surfing for the first time, whereas in Bristol my options are more limited due to the comparative lack of public transport options.

The accommodation I stayed in had an excellent view whilst also being away from the city centre; I had the best of both worlds, I got to have fun at the clubs whilst being able to actually sleep off the hangover the next day!

The only drawback I can think of was that the accommodation we stayed in lacked air conditioning, however there was the option of buying a fan and sitting a bowl of ice in front of it. Being from the UK, this was only a slight issue as my plane tickets were a lot cheaper than my north american counterparts.

I highly recommend this internship to anyone if you value dipping your toes into new areas, especially if you're unsure on what to pursue after graduation. Additionally, if like me you stayed home during university, I highly recommend this internship opportunity as it will allow you to branch out and see what it's like living with other people - even if in the end you might not get along with them, but whatever there's tons of other likeminded people to meet.

In the end, when I got back to the UK all I could do was sigh and go "home shit home", would go back in a heart beat!

Amazing Experience!

I had an amazing experience in Madrid, I loved my internship, got to live in the center of city, and met so many people from countries all around the world. While having the opportunity to work with kids through my internship and explore the city of Madrid were highlights of my time abroad, the excursions and events hosted by the Intern Group helped me form connections with people who shared my passion for travel, enhancing my experience beyond what I could have imagined. I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in gaining internship experience in a new city or country. In my personal opinion, my internship allowed me to connect with people local to Madrid, making my experience more valuable than if I had only been taking classes.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Embrace the experience! Try new things, engage with locals in the city, and don't let nerves hold you back from an amazing experience!

Amazing Experience!

Although my experience took place online, and I am living in Valencia I have had an amazing experience with the culture and community in Valencia. I have gone to some events with friends I have made out here and it has been great! Valencia is a beautiful city, and Spain is a beautiful country overall! I truly have enjoyed this entire experience! My supervisor was always easily accessible and very helpful! Her whole staff were very nice and helpful to me! I learning so much about the business side of the fashion industry during my internship.

I would recommend this program to anyone! It is incredibly safe, useful, and amazing to experience working and living in another country! I think it was everything and more!

Amazing time in Madrid!

I had an incredible time during my internship in Madrid! From start to finish, it was a rewarding and fun experience. The work itself was engaging, and I had the chance to learn so much while contributing to meaningful projects. What really made the experience unforgettable, though, was the amazing people I met along the way.

The support I received from Lalita and Nik was nothing short of amazing. They were always there to guide me, offer advice, and provide encouragement whenever I needed it. Their mentorship and genuine care made a huge difference in my experience, and I felt incredibly supported throughout the entire internship.

The team overall was welcoming and friendly, creating a fantastic environment for growth and collaboration. Whether we were working together on projects or exploring the city in our free time, I always felt like part of a great community.

Madrid itself was a highlight – full of rich culture, history, and vibrant energy. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the city, both professionally and personally.

Overall, this internship was not only a great career opportunity but also a memorable personal journey. I'm grateful for the chance to work with such wonderful people, and to experience Madrid in such a meaningful way. I highly recommend this internship to anyone looking for both professional growth and unforgettable experiences!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Definitely the calamari sandwich, a staple of Madrid cuisine!
Pros
  • Meeting so many amazing people
  • Living so centrally in Spain’s vibrant capital
  • Gaining relevant industry experience whilst conducting it all in Spainish!

Amazing Experience

This was a fantastic experience in Madrid. The intern group was a great organization to pick as my host. They ensured I was comfortable and listened to me whenever I addressed any issue. Upon coming here, I thought that my main purpose was my internship, however it's everything. It is about experiencing the culture—especially the cuisine, architecture, and nightlife—which Spain has in abundance, and meeting the people (who are incredibly nice, even to non-fluent Spanish speakers like myself) lol. Also, living and embracing another way of life was very eye-opening and informative. All of this, combined with the company I worked for, made up my internship experience in Madrid, and it was incredible. Finally, Lalita and Nikte are amazing women, and you couldn't be in better hands as you embark on this journey.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Come with an open mind and let the experience shape you in unfamiliar ways. Also, remember that you are very much in charge of how much you want to experience during this trip. Yes, your coordinators will organize activities for you, but we are all unique individuals with our interests and definitions of fun. So, do your research and explore Madrid in ways that you love (and don’t be afraid to explore on your own). For example, I visited flea markets because of my love for vintage jewelry and explored various perfumeries around Madrid. These were some of the things I loved and made sure to experience. You are the author of this journey, so make sure to write a beautiful story!
Pros
  • Amazing Cuisine
  • Wonderful Nightlife and Historical Sites
  • it is WALKABLE
Cons
  • it is hot
  • You might get sick just because of a change in environment, so budget for that!

Questions & Answers

Hi Verica! Whether these internships are paid or not is down to each specific placement company! However, their international internships do tend to be unpaid.

Hiya, Living situation wasn't bad at all, your usually with other interns. When I first got there I was a bit surprised at the flat as I thought it was going to be more like a uni halls or something, but the decor is quite dark and relatively small. Also had an oven that you had to light yourself which was an experience! Haha. But you get used to it really quickly and I loved my flat by the end. I...

I was in Madrid for two months and had prepared about €1600. I did budget and because I was very careful with money at the start I had quite a bit left over towards the end. It also depends on how much you eat out because that does get quite expensive.
