Highlights

The four week language course enables you to acclimate yourself to Spain and to become fully immersed in the culture before you start your internship. Instead of going in cold you'll be eased into the experience - once you are in the company setting you can make the most of your experience! You are free to choose between our two locations in Madrid and Barcelona. Housing options: you can choose to live with a host family, in a shared apartment or a student residence. Whether you'd prefer to be with other foreign students or strictly with Spaniards, we can facilitate that experience for you.
