Program Reviews

My internship in Melbourne was great! The set experiences were the highlight of the trip. Perth our experience coordinator was amazing! Always listening and helping when needed.

I particularly enjoyed the vineyard and wildlife tour The Intern Group provided as part of the program! We got to see actual Koalas and Kangaroos which made the experience 10 times better as I've never seen one before!

This program has allowed me to meet so many cool people from around the world and I have made life-long friends from this program!

Choosing to come to Madrid right after doing my postgraduate studies in the UK has been an exhilarating and exciting experience. Not only it challenges me to come out of my comfort zone but I have been able to enjoy my internship here and make good connections for life with my flatmates from different countries as well as with other participants. Madrid is also a safe, friendly, and historic city to visit especially if you are a Real Madrid Fan, you can watch the games live at Bernabeu and attend matches.

In general, not only the content of this internship was wonderful, but also Lucia and Lalita were always helpful during the process. Based on my experience, three points are remarkable.

① One of the most important thing that I have hardly seen in others' review, is that TIG can help you arrange the graduation internship required by some European University, which usually requires a third-party contract (you, internship company, and university). This is incredibly useful for some students to conduct international internship without working permit. I deeply remembered how helpless I was in the beginning when I searched for international internship as a non-European student at my university. But anyway, TIG help me make it possible.

② You should always take the initiative to reach out to different team-mates, not only because you might work in a very different culture, but also you probably can't Spanish in the beginning. If you are open and professional enough, your colleagues will be more than willing to help you.

③ You should know what's your priority during this internship. I know some people just want to have some international experience. My priority is to utilise this internship to achieve my academic goal (writing a sound paper) and professional goal (worked on a digitalisation project for a large captive company). So I don't pay a lot of attention to socialisation :(

Very well organized with great host organization. Local staff were very helpful and organized plenty of bonding activities. Internship experience developed a lot of useful skills that I will carry on to the job market. This includes soft and hard skills such as public speaking, presentations, sales, communication, and organization. I was very involved throughout this whole process and contributed to the success of my organization throughout these three months. This includes attending networking events and expositions as well.

I have fallen in love with Madrid in the 6 months I have been here! There have been tonnes of organised events to get involved with and the TIG Madrid Team can never do enough to help you in any way they can.

Madrid is a young and vibrant city especially during university term times (Sep - Jul). There are also fewer English speakers compared to tourist hotspots like Málaga or Barcelona, so there is ample opportunity to practice and improve your Spanish.

From the bustling Puerta de Sol to the peaceful Retiro and everything in-between, Madrid has something for everyone!

I graduated a year ago and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study at university so I decided to take a gap year and do an internship in Dublin with The Intern Group
I didn’t know what to expect at first but the whole experience was everything I was hoping and more!
My programe coordinator Rachel was in contact with me before my arrival and was so helpful during all the process. When I arrived she made sure to make me feel welcome and to introduce me to everyone.
The program was amazing, I got to work with awesome people and the trips and activities that they planned for us were spectacular. I fell in love with Dublin and I’m sure everyone visiting will too!

After hearing about the Intergroup from a friend I decided to check it out. I somehow ended up in London, England just a few months working on an internship at a theatre to help build my skills as a stage manager and arts manager. This is in all thanks to the Interngroup. The Interngroup worked with me from day one of applying all the way through my last day in London. They provide you with the all support you need no matter the day or time. They will always answer your questions or concerns you may have. They made me feel right at home even though I was 3,500 miles from my actual home. They made the process very easy to understand and gave me all the necessary tools to spread my wings and fly. I 100% recommend anyone interested in doing an internship to go through the Interngroup. Whether it be traveling to a different country or doing a digital online internship, the Interngroup is the best place to start!

I did my internship in Dublin in summer 2022 and it was such a rewarding and memorable experience. The people I met, whether that be other interns, locals, and the InternGroup stand were amazing and extremely welcoming. In the 8 weeks I spent in Dublin I was able to make friends from all over the world, have new experiences, and grow professionally and personally. My internship has helped me professionally, as potential managers are always intrigued about my internship and it helps me stand out compared to other candidates.

Not only did this program place me in a great placement for my internship, the program got to introduce you to the culture and people of the area you are in. I loved how they arranged meet-ups/ gatherings. Everyone was so helpful and the person on the ground at the area that you are in goes over and beyond for you. The housing was great, and close to shops. If there was an issue they were on it right away to have it fixed. I recommend this program to anyone and everyone. Such a great experience.

My internship was online, but I was still very involved in the activities hosted by The Intern Group in Dublin. The activities were fun and allowed us to truly experience Irish culture. The housing was very nice and comfortable and easily connected to the city by bus. The staff was helpful with any questions about Dublin. They were nice and involved with cultural activities, as well as any questions regarding our internships. The group of interns was diverse, with interns coming from many countries around the world.
