Intern in Barcelona with Absolute Internship

I have had an incredible experience in Barcelona, and much of that comes from the comfort Absolute Internship provided. Their Orientations gave me a clear idea of workplace customs and helped me better prepare for the internship with that knowledge in mind. The Program Coordinators were kind, and I grew comfortable with them to ask for advice and recommendations; I know that I could go to them whenever I have an issue or concern. The activities they set out for us allowed me to meet people who I soon became close friends with, and they reached out to make sure that I was comfortable throughout my time there!

This international internship was one of the most valuable experiences of my academic and professional journey. As a Management Information Systems student with a strong interest in marketing, social media, and international collaboration, this program gave me the opportunity to apply my knowledge in a real working environment while continuing to learn every day. I was able to strengthen my communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability skills by working with people from different cultural and professional backgrounds. My curiosity, willingness to learn, creativity, and ability to work well in a team helped me contribute to the projects while also growing personally and professionally. The internship was well organized, the mentors were supportive, and I was encouraged to take initiative and develop new skills. Beyond the professional experience, building international friendships and experiencing a new culture made this journey truly unforgettable. I returned home with greater confidence, a broader perspective, and valuable experience that will positively shape my future career. I highly recommend this internship to anyone who wants to develop professionally, challenge themselves, and gain international experience.

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.
