Enriching experience in Madrid!
July 07, 2025by: Cori Selig - United StatesAdelante placed me with a company very tailored to my interests--something that involved both Criminology and Psychology. I learned a good bit about how such systems function in Spain, and everyone at my foundation was very welcoming. I'm glad I chose this experience to widen my perspective on the world.
An Unforgettable Summer
July 25, 2024by: Gertrude Wall - United StatesThis summer I was blessed to live in the center of Madrid!!!! I was placed in Puerta del Sol and I loved every single opportunity I received there. I always had something to do and there was never a dull moment. I also gained two amazing friends that conveniently lived in my shared apartment. I will forever love the experiences I had, and I will 100% be back.
Loved my time in Madrid!
March 01, 2020by: Leonor Goncalves - PortugalMy experience was very good overall in terms of professional and personal improvement. I was very fortunate to meet and share this experience with amazing people, and to be able to enjoy and learn a lot during this program. It helped to have Adelante and the Eureka staff's support throughout the whole time. My internship also allowed me to gain practical experience and more in-depth knowledge of clinical psychology whilst working in a good professional environment.
Amazing experience
October 16, 2018by: Jennifer Rodriguez - United StatesBeing in Madrid was an amazing experience. I met so many people and was able to travel around Europe. Fortunately, I gained real world experience in the field of psychology which helped me gain great knowledge.
