About Program

IFE’s Field Study and Internship programs are built around in-depth field experience and guided research, for which students prepare through classroom instruction and intercultural training.

The Asturias Field Study and Internship Program in Gijón, Spain is a Spanish-language program centered on a full-time internship or research placement as the means for linguistic immersion, cross-cultural learning, and a comparative grasp of a student’s own field. These goals are reached though a multi-faceted 18-week academic semester.

+ Six weeks of interdisciplinary courses including two study tours to neighboring regions, to prepare students for working in Asturias.
+ A three-month full-time internship related to each student’s studies and goals.
+ Guided field research on a topic important to the student’s host organization.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Without thinking about any program, think about what you want from your study abroad experience. If you have a clear idea of what you want, then you'll know what program is for you. Thomas's presentation for my class about IFE listed everything I wanted for my experience so it was so easy to know this would be the right one for me. Also, in the same vein, have concrete ideas for internships. It helps IFE give you one that is well suited for you and that you'll be happy in, which is important considering that the internship is the biggest part of the program.
