Design, discover and thrive (in Barcelona)

My internship in Barcelona was an unforgettable journey of growth. The program provided invaluable hands-on learning, and the vibrant city added so much inspiration. Meeting Leticia, our incredible community leader, was a highlight—her unwavering support and guidance made the experience even more enriching. The connections I built with fellow interns were priceless, and the cultural immersion was unforgettable and a part that I will cherish. I highly recommend this program for anyone seeking a creative and nurturing environment.

Barcelona Summer Internship 2024

I had the absolute best time in Barcelona. Beyond Academy and all of its advisors made the entire experience so seamless and safe, I will always remember my time with them!! I also really appreciated how they made sure my company was the right fit for me and all logistics worked out so I wouldn’t have to worry about safety or anything else and really just be able to soak up all the time I had in Barcelona. I also loved how easy it was to travel to other places on the weekend! A special shoutout to our awesome advisor Leticia:)

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
When a lot of my work was in other languages. It was nerve-racking at first, but with help from my coworkers & google translate (it’s really the easiest solution), i was able to do all of my work very efficiently!
Pros
  • Location
  • Work Space
  • Going out life
Cons
  • if you don’t have AC, it’s horrible

The BEST Summer!

Before I decided to book an internship experience abroad with Beyond Academy, I had never heard of them before. However, after completing my 6 week program in Barcelona, I will be forever grateful that I decided to book with BA! Leticia, our program coordinator was the kindest person and welcomed each and every one of us with open arms! I had an incredible Summer exploring Barcelona, making new friends, working and creating memories that will last forever. The public transportation in Barcelona was easy to use, the city was so diverse and exciting, and the food was incredible. I also loved the aparto that we had as our housing because it was fun living in the same building as all the other interns! I was able to grow and change so much during this past summer all thanks to the wonderful people of Beyond Academy! I highly recommend!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
My advice to any future travelers on this program is to get outside your comfort zone and have fun! Say yes to all of the activities that you can attend and work on creating great friendships with the coordinators and the interns! Forming bonds early on in the program helps you feel more at home and makes the summer so much fun!
Pros
  • Exciting city and nightlife
  • Great community support
  • Easy transportation throughout the city
Cons
  • Can get expensive if you don't budget yourself
  • Can get extremely hot/humid

An amazing experience!

I was lucky enough to be able to meet an amazing community of people I now call my best friends! The events were so fun and I felt like I got to see so much of Barcelona! My internship was an amazing learning experience and I got to build a great connection with the company and ended up getting a job out of it!! For future interns, I say to go into this with an open mind and open heart! You never know who you’ll meet and what the future has in store! It is overall an amazing, exciting, once in a lifetime experience!

What would you improve about this program?
If I could improve anything about this program it would be getting connected with the group you’ll be with earlier. I didn’t get to join the WhatsApp group til a few days before I got there and I think joining it at least 1-2 full weeks before going would be more helpful to get to virtually know the other people in the program group! I also think more information about the living accommodation could be provided, such as I didn’t know laundry would cost money it only said there was a laundry room at the accommodation.
Pros
  • Making a new community of best friends!
  • New learning experiences and adventures
  • Barcelona’s culture!
Cons
  • My accommodation didn’t get cleaned for almost a full month of being there
  • Laundry costed me $14 every time and I didn’t know this prior to coming
  • Some staff at the accommodation could be rude at times

Perfect is an Understatement

I love Barcelona!!!! I’m so glad I took the chance to take this amazing opportunity with Beyond Academy. They found the perfect internship for me that I know will definitely help boost me. I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done to make me feel safe and heard; shoutout to Leticia!!!! I’m so happy for everyone I’ve met along the way as well as the amazing excursions Beyond Academy provided. I came feeling so nervous and afraid, but left feeling so motivated, hopeful and inspired. Perfect is really an understatement.

Barcelona Internship Experience ❤️

I had a memorable, valuable, and worthwhile experience with Beyond Academy 🚀

My internship consisted of me learning new skills in 3D modeling software with a startup company. My colleagues were very friendly and supportive!

I feel very grateful and blessed to have made lifelong friends at my accommodation (a co-working and co-living space) and created memories that I will always cherish!

Being the only intern on the programme, on a personal level I enjoyed it very much given the fact I tend to struggle in groups! So it was a lovely experience to have 1 to 1 cultural and social activities with my community co-ordinator, Letícia. I also attended a few language exchange meetings and salsa classes in my spare time in order to meet others who could help me with my Spanish and to immerse myself fully into the culture!

Letícia is a wonderful human being who I've enjoyed getting to know over these last few months! She is a very organised, considerate and empathic, individual and if I ever needed any advice with my internship experience or emotional support, I felt very comfortable with her.

All in all! A truly rewarding, exciting and valuable experience 🚀 I am glad I chose Barcelona! ❤️

Good Experience

Overall, my experience was good. I was in Barcelona for 3 months doing an internship in the fashion industry. The internship as a whole was worth while, but my experience with Beyond Academy was a bit strange being the only intern for my first 2 and a half months there. This meant not having immediate friends upon arrival. Other than that I had a great 3 months. Beyond Academy also has weekly events which included museum tours, excursions all through the city and also dinners at typical Spanish restaurants.

Beyond Academy

I had the best time in Barcelona with Beyond Academy! I had a great time with the people around me who were also in my program and I expect that the friendships I made abroad will stay with me forever as well as the wonderful memories. It was such an unforgettable experience I would do anything to be back. I also always very felt very safe knowing there was someone there who was always just a phone call away and was able to help me with any problems I had. Our accommodation was super inner city which was at times inconvenient but we did all have our own bedroom and bathroom, we additionally had a gym and rooftop pool, but I believe the best part was that I always felt safe having 24-hour security. I also really liked that there were coordinated events for us to explore the city. I know that if It was left to us to do I probably wouldn't have seen or learned as much as I did about the city.

Pros
  • Gaining work experience.
  • Being able to fully submerse yourself into a new culture.
  • Meeting new people from around the world.
Cons
  • Expensive but worth it.
  • Accommodation was a little outer city but it also had fantastic amenities that I wouldn't have been able to have inner city.
