International Internships in Madrid

My time abroad was truly a great experience. I interned in Madrid which is a great city, I highly recommend interning here if you can. Furthermore, the people I met and worked with along the way were amazing and they made my time here extra special. The culture was awesome and I really enjoyed some of the events that the Intern Group puts on. They are a great way to meet a bunch of new people from many different walks of life and the events themselves are really fun. They also provide insider information about Madrid that will help to visit other places in the city that might not have been on your radar or on your list to visit had it not been for these events. The nightlife in the city is spectacular but if that’s not your thing there are so many different things to do in Madrid I honestly would find it hard to believe that somebody couldn’t love it. I only experienced two drawbacks during my time in Madrid that had to do with the Intern Group. Firstly, I along with others I know experienced gaps in communication in regards to move-in dates, problem solving, and other administrative stuff. Support staff often took very long to respond to general questions and urgent emails alike which made it very frustrating to try and problem solve if something were to come up. Furthermore, there were issues here and there with housing but overall the housing I was placed in was great. Again, I highly recommend studying abroad through an internship, whether it be in Madrid or elsewhere. I think an internship gives the unique experience of having a job instead of being in school and prepares you for a professional working environment in ways that nothing else could, especially not a semester of school.

This summer I decided to do a 6 week internship in Madrid. I did my internship at a small company in the area of social media marketing and website design. Overall I had a very good working experience and I really enjoyed my team and co workers. My internship also was 100% on site and not remote, which I actually enjoyed. It was nice to go to work every day and to have a routine, especially when you are in a new city and don’t know so many people yet. I also had another intern with me at my office, which I enjoyed a lot. I really enjoyed Madrid as a city. I‘m from Europe and have already been in most capital cities but in my opinion Madrid is one of my favourite ones. The city is very safe, clean and beautiful and there’s a lot to do in your free time.

The experience was everything I could of asked for , lalita and her team were amazing and helpful with everything I needed , the accommodation and services I was really pleasantly surprised how modern they were. And my actual internship placement was much better than I could’ve of even asked for. Literally got the exact job that I wanted. Would definitely recommend this for both the experience and the career prospects after
