Internship in Spain

My internship abroad has been the best experience and opportunity! The Intern Group has made it so easy and fun. I felt supported through the entire journey. Would definitely recommend! Also having roommates who are also doing internships has made it so much easier. We did a lot together and really created strong bonds. The Intern Group also made an effort in planning social events with all fellow interns and we got a chance to meet and get to know everyone. The housing was also super neat and had everything we needed.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I definitely would stay longer than 3 months!

Outstanding Experience with InternGroup

My experience with InternGroup has been more than just an internship opportunity—it has been a meaningful step in my personal and professional growth. From the very beginning, their team made me feel supported, welcomed, and confident about the journey ahead. The process was smooth, well-organized, and they were always ready to answer my questions and guide me whenever I needed help.

What I appreciated most was how they genuinely cared about creating a valuable experience, not just placing interns somewhere. Through this journey, I gained new skills, learned how to adapt in a professional environment, and became more confident in myself and my abilities.

InternGroup gave me the chance to grow beyond academics and see what I’m capable of in the real world. It’s an experience I’ll always be grateful for, and I would sincerely recommend it to anyone who wants to challenge themselves, grow professionally, and create memories that last a lifetime.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve-racking moment for me was taking my very first international flight alone. I had never traveled that far by myself before, so everything felt exciting but also overwhelming—navigating the airport, going through immigration, and arriving in a completely new country.

But once I landed in Spain, that fear quickly turned into confidence. This internship didn’t just fly me to Spain—it opened a whole new world for me. It gave me the courage and opportunity to solo travel to other European countries during the program, something I never imagined I could do before. What started as my most nerve-racking moment became one of the most empowering experiences of my life.

Civil Engineering Internship in Madrid

My 10 week program was an absolutely life-changing time of my life. Before choosing this program, I wanted a whole cultural experience, I wanted something new and I wanted to see a different side of the world. I had no expectations of what I was going to experience in Spain; I knew nothing about it, I didn't know how to speak Spanish, and I knew nobody going into it; and yet I can say this was the most life-changing experience I have had.

I was placed with INES Ingenieros Consultores, a fascinating engineering consultancy with a specialisation in transport infrastructure and restoring built heritage. I was tasked to assist them with flood modelling for 4 different regions around Spain. The country is quite known for their flooding from its mountainous geography so it was quite fascinating to see the focus on construction and infrastructure assets. The company also showed me the different projects they worked on and different contracts they have with clients regarding asset management, consulting, and design services which was very insightful. My co-workers were very friendly and advised me a few times with their day-to-day lives and general travelling around Spain. My mentor was very smart and experienced in his field and I learnt a lot from his teachings. Overall the work was a 10/10 experience, it's a vast contrast to the work I've experienced in Australia and I feel quite accomplished having done this internship. I felt motivated most days to come into work and learn from the opportunities they provided me with.

From visiting the historical villages and getting to know different people from various backgrounds, this program was an absolute pleasure for organising events to meet other interns and see the main parts of Madrid. The organisers were extremely helpful and provided valuable insights with travelling. I've made lifelong global friends with this program with different backgrounds, and absolutely want to visit their home countries. I was very happy with the hospitality provided by this program.

In terms of Spain itself, it was an absolutely insightful experience to travel around the country. Weekends were an opportunity to explore different cities around Spain, to see its unique landscapes and explore the night-life of Madrid. Madrid is quite famous for its night-life, and its no disappointment; the streets felt safe, the music and culture is lively, and I'm quite happy to have seen this. For an adventurous and outdoorsy person, Spain is definitely on top of the list to visit. Hiking is plentiful and quite rewarding in this country. From the famous Picos de Europa, Pyrenees Mountains on the French border, and even mountains just one hour north of Madrid; just the experiences were absolute eye gazing moments. The landscapes were lively and the animal-life was abundant even during the late-winter/early-spring season. For a historical and cultural person, everywhere in Spain is abundant with life and heritage. Stone structures are preserved throughout time, religion is a big part of Spain, and the food is most Spanish the further away from the city you go (from my experience at least).

Overall, this solo adventure will forever be a big part of me and will sit deep in my heart. A huge thank you to The Intern Group Madrid Team for giving me this opportunity, for organising housing, events, and the internship itself; I will be forever grateful for the memories I've made on this journey and I will always want to return. It is such a lively country, suitable for almost everyone, and there will always be something to do in Spain.

Hasta luego, España!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Do not be scared to travel alone. It's daunting at times to go to new places and meet new people, especially when you don't speak the same language. But it's these experiences that make it what its worth.
Pros
  • Abundant culture and history
  • Scenic landscapes
  • Lively nights
Cons
  • Not enough weekend trips within my 10 week program, if only I could have more weekends.
  • Not enough sleep, always something to do every night.
  • Too much to see, not enough time to see everything.

Best experience ever

My internship program in Madrid was in experience I’ll never forget. I wish I could do this 100 times. My program was amazing, accommodation was great, everyone at my internship was so kind and supportive, and the social scene was incredible. My program leaders, Corrine and Lalita were so helpful and kind. I met so many new awesome people who I will stay friends with after the program is over. This was genuinely the best experience I’ve ever had the opportunity to be a part of and I would recommend it to anyone!

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
if I could do one thing differently it would be to go on every excursion included in my program. I wasn’t able to attend them but it would’ve been lovely to explore more of Spain
Pros
  • Social life
  • The city has everything
  • This program was so supportive with all our needs and questions
Cons
  • Being exhausted

Architecture internship in Madrid

My experience with The Intern Group in Madrid fully met my expectations, and I am leaving the city incredibly happy and grateful for everything I experienced.

From a professional perspective, as an architecture student, one of my main concerns was finding an internship that truly matched my field of study. The Intern Group successfully placed me in a company that was well aligned with my academic background and professional interests. The company was relatively small, which, in my opinion, turned out to be a great advantage. On a daily basis, I received very personalized feedback on my work, and the work environment felt close and supportive. I never felt like “just another intern,” but rather like a valued member of the team.

Regarding the language aspect, it was not a problem for me since Spanish is my first language and my internship was conducted in Spanish. However, the social side of the program was mainly in English, as interns come from all over the world. This actually became a great opportunity for me to practice and improve my English in a very natural way, which I truly appreciated.

As for the accommodation, it was very good overall. The location was pretty good, well connected to public transportation and conveniently situated. One important thing to consider is that you may share the apartment not only with other interns from The Intern Group, but also with external tenants. If you are not used to living with people you don’t know, this is something to keep in mind. That being said, in my personal experience, living with other people was very positive. Living with other interns from the program also created a sense of community and support, it felt reassuring to have people going through the same experience under the same roof.

Socially, I would say this is one of the strongest aspects of the program. There were always activities organized throughout the week, which made it very easy to meet other interns. I am leaving Madrid with great friendships and connections with people from all over the world, which is something I truly value.

In conclusion, this is a very complete experience in all aspects, professional, personal, and social. I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering doing an international internship. It has been an enriching experience that I will always look back on with appreciation.

The Intern Group

TIG provided me with a memorable experience in Madrid, Spain, from which I learned professional, social, and intercultural skills. The activities organized allow interns to meet their peers and make friends for life. We are currently planning our next trip together! If you like exploring, plan trips for every weekend because you won’t have the time during the week between work and outtings with friends. My onboarding experience with TIG was also great because they were patient with me wanting to find the best fit for my field of study.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Find a balance between planning ahead and living in the moment because there is a lot to take your time with in Madrid, but lots of amazing things to see nearby for an affordable price.
Pros
  • Friends
  • Access to internship assistance
  • Good housing
Cons
  • Internship may not be well-instructed
  • Nightlife is expensive
  • Need to have high social battery to keep up with all the activities and to avoid fomo

Amazing experience!

I greatly enjoyed my internship experience, as it provided both professional growth and personal enrichment. Working closely with my supervisor was especially rewarding; we collaborated on developing ideas, and I felt that my contributions were genuinely valued and thoughtfully considered. Throughout the internship, I strengthened my skills by gaining hands-on experience with various professional platforms and adapting to new tools and responsibilities. Living with fellow interns and attending the events organized also allowed me to form meaningful international friendships, further enhancing an already fulfilling experience.

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.
