I loved my time in Barcelona and had a great experience. While i liked the program I felt often it was a bit disorganized. Also the apartment I was provided with was terrible.

The internship I was supplied with was pretty typical as far as internships go. It was rather boring and I don't felt like I learned to... Read more

This is an incredible internship opportunity for students who want hands on experience. No envelope stuffing here, you get into the placement and on day one you are working with the locals, learning Spanish (and a little Catalan) getting to understand the culture in a way that only an internship can provide. I did a homestay met other international students. All the staff are amazing as well. Just a great experience I highly recommend. Read more

Actually I'm an Engineering student but I chose my internship in finance because, to be honest, I got a little bored with engineering and... Read more

I also attended music history classes with the other professors. I loved the pe... Read more

My internship was at an English magazine called Barcelona Metropolitan, The City in English. I worked with the lead graphic designer for the magazine as a design assistant. Mostly I created and fixed ads that went in the magazine. Because it is a free magazine, they rely heavily on advertisements from local businesses who want to reach out to English speakers to keep the magazine up and running; so it was really important to make sure the ads ...
