Program Reviews

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!

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.

I just wrapped up my internship in London with the Intern Group, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! They helped me find my internship super fast and were always checking in via email to make sure I was comfortable with interviews. The accommodation they set me up with in central London was one of the nicest places I've ever stayed! The event coordinators, especially Autumn and Peach, were fantastic at their jobs – super friendly and always quick to respond, even within 15 minutes. Overall, my time in London was fantastic, and I highly recommend going abroad! Don't worry about accommodations or making friends; the Intern Group has got your back!

I loved the experience here, the city is beautiful and the weather is great. I loved the program itself as well and all the events we did made it easier to immerse myself in the culture. I think my favorite part was going to Guatapé and to Comuna 13. Within the city and the whole country, the people were super welcoming and always willing to help. I hope to return here someday soon. The internship gave me a good idea of what I want to do and I had a lot of personal growth as well. I’ve learned a lot here

I loved my internship experience here it was challenging and exiting which helped me the most. Through this process I had a great support from Peach my london program manager. She supported me through giving us events to go to and a safe space to come to her with anything. I was able to go to her for advice about being abroad and career development. There was great support during my internship and i’m so grateful for this opportunity. I think the encouragement as well was a confidence booster that I can be independent here and not rely on anyone else.

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!

I recently completed an international internship in Dublin, Ireland through The Intern Group as part of my gap year before attending medical school. The Intern Group made sure I had everything I needed to succeed, from pre-arrival assistance to ongoing support throughout my internship. They also organized events that made it easy to connect with other interns and build lasting friendships.

I was placed with an inspiring nonprofit organization, and the experience opened my eyes to new directions in my career path while deepening my passion for practicing medicine with a more global perspective.

In addition to the professional growth, the cultural experience was truly unforgettable. Dublin is an incredible city with so much history, vibrant culture, and friendly people. It's also easy to travel and explore other parts of Ireland. I made lifelong memories and met amazing people from around the world.

Overall, this internship was an invaluable experience, and I highly recommend The Intern Group to anyone looking to gain international work experience!

I absolutely loved my internship and the help I had during the process. The company, people working, and coordinators in each of the locations I was at were phenomenal and helped me gain so much insight. I will now be moving to Ireland full-time because I love it so much. This type of experience is a great way to add to your resume and understand how the workforce is in different countries. It brings opportunities for travel, eating different foods, meeting new friends, and experiencing different cultures.

I really had the best summer ever! I am so thankful to the inter group for giving me the opportunity to see Ireland! I met amazing people and forged so many friendships. My job was everything I wished for! The organisation’s staff was always so nice and responsive! The accommodation was good. Honestly, I will never ever forget this summer. This experience really helped me find myself. It is a journey through personal growth everybody need in their twenties. Overall I will 100% recommend the Intern Group to everyone!!
