Intern in Barcelona with Absolute Internship

Taking part in an overseas internship in Barcelona was completely out of my comfort zone, but in the best way possible. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my degree and gave me so much more than just professional experience. My placement at Bach Legal was the highlight. The office environment was welcoming and much less formal than I expected, which made it easy to ask questions and learn. I gained practical legal skills while also building confidence in taking on new challenges and asking for help when needed. Absolute Internship made the whole process straightforward. From pre-departure check-ins to ongoing support throughout the program, I always felt looked after. They organised accommodation, provided a clear schedule of activities, and kept everyone updated, making the transition to living overseas much less stressful. I also enjoyed meeting people from around the world through the program. Outside of work, I loved immersing myself in a new culture. One moment I'll never forget was seeing the inside of the Sagrada Família during a guided tour—it was absolutely breathtaking. This experience made me more independent, adaptable and confident, and showed me how many opportunities can come from stepping outside your comfort zone. If you're considering applying but feel nervous, I'd say go for it. You'll have support every step of the way, and you'll learn so much about yourself in the process.

My time on Absolute has been truly transformative! From meeting peers from multiple cultures and backgrounds, to immersing myself into Spanish culture and work-life balance, I couldn’t recommend the opportunity to other young people any more! The ongoing support from staff also really ensured we all felt settled in and ready, both before and during our time here (shoutout to Claudia and Gio!). Thank you Absolute, for such a great experience!

Hello, my name is Boran. I recently graduated from the Visual Communication Design department. I define myself as someone who does not like to stay limited to a single field, but rather constantly seeks to learn, explore, and gain new experiences. For me, design is not only a profession, but also a way of understanding people, cultures, and stories. During my university years, I had the opportunity to take part in Erasmus+ projects and experience international environments in Poland. I also gained experience working in multicultural settings in Poland, which helped me develop my understanding of different cultures and ways of working. Working with people from different countries, getting to know new cultures closely, and experiencing different perspectives have significantly contributed to both my personal and professional development. I have visited many European countries so far, and each journey has taught me something new. I am a curious, energetic, and highly motivated individual who is always open to growth. I enjoy meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, and continuously improving myself. I aim to build my career in design by adding international experience, learning different working cultures, and developing my creativity in new environments. Therefore, I see the internship opportunity in Barcelona as an important step that will both enhance my professional skills and enrich my life with valuable experiences.
