International Internships in Madrid

It was an incredible experience that helped me meet people from different countries and backgrounds, allowing me to learn from their cultures, perspectives, and personal stories. Living and sharing experiences with people who had grown up in completely different environments challenged me to step outside my comfort zone and become more open-minded. It also taught me the importance of communication, empathy, and understanding, especially when interacting with people whose customs and ways of thinking were different from mine. Beyond the cultural experience, this opportunity helped me grow personally. Being in a new environment encouraged me to become more independent, adaptable, and confident in myself. I learned how to handle unexpected situations, make decisions on my own, and embrace challenges instead of being afraid of them. I also discovered new aspects of my personality and realized that I am capable of adapting and thriving in unfamiliar situations. Overall, this experience was much more than simply meeting new people or visiting a different place. It was an opportunity to learn, challenge myself, and create meaningful connections. I will always value the memories, friendships, and lessons I gained, as they have contributed significantly to my personal growth and continue to influence the way I approach new experiences.

Everyone from The Intern Group was super helpful and easy to contact! Easy to meet other interns due to events and a welcome meet-up at the start. Really nice accommodation and good location with easy public transport to the city centre. Clear check-in / check-out process. The internship was a great learning experience, everyone from the company was really welcoming and willing to help me out. I always had something to do and was given clear instructions for tasks. Would recommend to anyone looking for more experience!

Both Corrine and Lalita worked hard to make both the integration into the workspace AND the city very easy and immersive. Without them, things would have been much harder. They were very easy to reach if we had any questions or requests!!

My time in Madrid was the best three months of my life; I learned so much about myself and was able to meet a bunch of new people. I loved how easygoing Madrid was, from the transportation to how nice the people were. I was able to experience the Madrid culture and try new foods. It took a little bit to get used to the 9-hour time difference and the late dinners. I also loved how easy it was to travel around Europe because Madrid has easy access to trains and flights. Lastly, I had the best roommates and made lifelong memories. The Intern Group was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. More specifically, Lalita and Corinne were so helpful while being in Madrid. Anytime I had a question, they were able to answer it very quickly. Also, getting to be in a group with other interns made the experience a lot easier because we were able to connect and relate to each other's experiences. I was able to make lifelong friends with some of the people in the group. The Bubble (the company that I worked with) made it very welcoming and allowed me to ask any questions that I was unsure about. They gave me many hands-on tasks, which I am grateful for because I gained a lot of experience. Overall, Madrid makes it extremely easy to adapt to and is a great place to do an internship. There is always something to do, and you will 100% make lifelong memories and friendships.

I had a good experience with The Intern Group during my summer internship in Spain. They made the process of moving to a new country and starting an internship easier by providing support throughout the experience. My internship gave me valuable professional experience and allowed me to build on my skills. Beyond the internship, living in Madrid was an amazing opportunity to experience a new culture, meet new people, and travel around Europe. Overall, I would definitely recommend The Intern Group to anyone looking to gain work experience abroad while having an unforgettable summer experience.

Joining The Intern Group's architecture internship program in Madrid, Spain was one of the best decisions I've ever made. What started as an opportunity to gain international work experience became a journey of personal growth, cultural immersion, and lifelong memories. During my internship, I worked in a professional architecture firm where I was exposed to real-world projects, collaborated with experienced architects, and learned how design practices differ in an international setting. It strengthened both my technical and communication skills while teaching me how to adapt to a multicultural workplace. Living in Madrid was equally rewarding. The accommodation was clean, safe, and conveniently located near public transportation, making it easy to commute to work and explore the city. Madrid itself is vibrant, walkable, and rich in history, and I loved spending weekends visiting museums, parks, cafés, and nearby cities. The Intern Group also organized social events that made it easy to connect with interns from all over the world, many of whom I still keep in touch with today. One thing I appreciated most was how this experience pushed me outside my comfort zone. Moving to another country, navigating daily life in a different language, and balancing work with travel helped me become more independent, resilient, and confident. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to provide even more structured networking opportunities or career development workshops tailored to different industries. That said, the overall support from The Intern Group was excellent, and I always felt that there was someone I could reach out to whenever I needed assistance. I would highly recommend this program to students and recent graduates who want more than just an internship. If you're looking to gain meaningful professional experience while growing as a person and experiencing life in another country, this program is absolutely worth it. It was truly a life-changing experience that continues to influence both my career and personal outlook.

My time with The Intern Group in Madrid was one of the best decisions I made during college. Beyond the internship experience itself, I walked away with lifelong friendships, a stronger sense of independence, and a real love for the city. The program team was supportive from day one and made the transition abroad feel completely manageable. I’d recommend it to anyone considering an internship abroad, especially in Madrid.

The Intern Group provided me with a memorable experience in Madrid, Spain, from which I learned professional, social, and intercultural skills. The activities organized allow interns to meet their peers and make friends for life. We are currently planning our next trip together! If you like exploring, plan trips for every weekend because you won’t have the time during the week between work and outtings with friends. My onboarding experience with TIG was also great because they were patient with me wanting to find the best fit for my field of study. What is your advice to future travelers on this program? Find a balance between planning ahead and living in the moment because there is a lot to take your time with in Madrid, but lots of amazing things to see nearby for an affordable price!

My internship abroad has been the best experience and opportunity! The Intern Group has made it so easy and fun. I felt supported through the entire journey. Would definitely recommend! Also having roommates who are also doing internships has made it so much easier. We did a lot together and really created strong bonds. The Intern Group also made an effort in planning social events with all fellow interns and we got a chance to meet and get to know everyone. The housing was also super neat and had everything we needed.

Madrid is the perfect place to immerse yourself into a great culture, with lovely people, nice food, great support form the program and a meaningful work experience. I highly recommend the intergroup specially for allowing to be part of this program, do an international Internship, and make friends for life.

In November 2025, I decided to take the biggest leap of my life and give myself less than two months to move to the city where my soul truly feels at home: Madrid. I wanted to grow both personally and professionally, immerse myself in a new culture, and challenge myself in ways I never had before and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. The three months I spent there felt like an absolute dream come true. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, supported, and inspired. The Intern Group truly sets you up for success by providing guidance, professional development, cultural immersion, and a strong support system that allows you to thrive both inside and outside of the workplace. Lalita and Corinne were absolutely amazing in helping build a home away from home. They set up the best group activities where I made the most amazing friends whom im still in touch with and already planning a reunion trip with 🫶🏼 Beyond gaining valuable international work experience, I built confidence, independence, lifelong friendships, and unforgettable memories. Living and working in Madrid gave me a completely new perspective on life, business, and myself. It pushed me outside of my comfort zone in the best possible way and strengthened my passion for international business, hospitality, and global connections. This experience was far more than just an internship — it was a period of growth, self-discovery, and transformation that I will carry with me forever. I am endlessly grateful for the opportunity and would encourage anyone considering taking a leap abroad to do it without hesitation. Post Internship: Im happy to announce that ill be moving full time to Madrid starting September 2026 to study and continue living the dream ❤️🇪🇸

I went into this internship looking to better understand what kind of work I would be doing in my path and I found that. I also wanted to experience life abroad which I loved and I wanted to make great friends, which I did. everything i set out to do, I accomplished.

My 10 week program was an absolutely life-changing time of my life. Before choosing this program, I wanted a whole cultural experience, I wanted something new and I wanted to see a different side of the world. I had no expectations of what I was going to experience in Spain; I knew nothing about it, I didn't know how to speak Spanish, and I knew nobody going into it; and yet I can say this was the most life-changing experience I have had. I was placed with INES Ingenieros Consultores, a fascinating engineering consultancy with a specialisation in transport infrastructure and restoring built heritage. I was tasked to assist them with flood modelling for 4 different regions around Spain. The country is quite known for their flooding from its mountainous geography so it was quite fascinating to see the focus on construction and infrastructure assets. The company also showed me the different projects they worked on and different contracts they have with clients regarding asset management, consulting, and design services which was very insightful. My co-workers were very friendly and advised me a few times with their day-to-day lives and general travelling around Spain. My mentor was very smart and experienced in his field and I learnt a lot from his teachings. Overall the work was a 10/10 experience, it's a vast contrast to the work I've experienced in Australia and I feel quite accomplished having done this internship. I felt motivated most days to come into work and learn from the opportunities they provided me with. From visiting the historical villages and getting to know different people from various backgrounds, this program was an absolute pleasure for organising events to meet other interns and see the main parts of Madrid. The organisers were extremely helpful and provided valuable insights with travelling. I've made lifelong global friends with this program with different backgrounds, and absolutely want to visit their home countries. I was very happy with the hospitality provided by this program. In terms of Spain itself, it was an absolutely insightful experience to travel around the country. Weekends were an opportunity to explore different cities around Spain, to see its unique landscapes and explore the night-life of Madrid. Madrid is quite famous for its night-life, and its no disappointment; the streets felt safe, the music and culture is lively, and I'm quite happy to have seen this. For an adventurous and outdoorsy person, Spain is definitely on top of the list to visit. Hiking is plentiful and quite rewarding in this country. From the famous Picos de Europa, Pyrenees Mountains on the French border, and even mountains just one hour north of Madrid; just the experiences were absolute eye gazing moments. The landscapes were lively and the animal-life was abundant even during the late-winter/early-spring season. For a historical and cultural person, everywhere in Spain is abundant with life and heritage. Stone structures are preserved throughout time, religion is a big part of Spain, and the food is most Spanish the further away from the city you go (from my experience at least). Overall, this solo adventure will forever be a big part of me and will sit deep in my heart. A huge thank you to The Intern Group Madrid Team for giving me this opportunity, for organising housing, events, and the internship itself; I will be forever grateful for the memories I've made on this journey and I will always want to return. It is such a lively country, suitable for almost everyone, and there will always be something to do in Spain. Hasta luego, España!

My experience with The Intern Group in Madrid fully met my expectations, and I am leaving the city incredibly happy and grateful for everything I experienced. From a professional perspective, as an architecture student, one of my main concerns was finding an internship that truly matched my field of study. The Intern Group successfully placed me in a company that was well aligned with my academic background and professional interests. The company was relatively small, which, in my opinion, turned out to be a great advantage. On a daily basis, I received very personalized feedback on my work, and the work environment felt close and supportive. I never felt like “just another intern,” but rather like a valued member of the team. Regarding the language aspect, it was not a problem for me since Spanish is my first language and my internship was conducted in Spanish. However, the social side of the program was mainly in English, as interns come from all over the world. This actually became a great opportunity for me to practice and improve my English in a very natural way, which I truly appreciated. As for the accommodation, it was very good overall. The location was really good, well connected to public transportation and conveniently situated. One important thing to consider is that you may share the apartment not only with other interns from The Intern Group, but also with external tenants. If you are not used to living with people you don’t know, this is something to keep in mind. That being said, in my personal experience, living with other people was very positive. Living with other interns from the program also created a sense of community and support, it felt reassuring to have people going through the same experience under the same roof. Socially, I would say this is one of the strongest aspects of the program. There were always activities organized throughout the week, which made it very easy to meet other interns. I am leaving Madrid with great friendships and connections with people from all over the world, which is something I truly value. In conclusion, this is a very complete experience in all aspects, professional, personal, and social. I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering doing an international internship. It has been an enriching experience that I will always look back on with appreciation.

Im so grateful that my university partners with the intern group because they did a phoenominal job at finding housing, giving us metro cards, hosting meetups, and always beting there during times of crisis.

My experience with the intern group was incredibly helpful, especially as someone who had never done an internship abroad before. Moving to a new country and adjusting to everything can feel overwhelming, but they supported me through the entire process. They helped with the logistics, accommodation, and even getting my metro card, which made settling in so much easier and allowed me to focus on my internship. As a marketing graduate, I was able to learn new marketing skills and gain real-world experience in an international setting. At the same time, I also met amazing people and built friendships that I know will last a lifetime. What I appreciated most about this program was the balance between professional growth and social life. It wasn’t just about working—it was also about building connections, exploring a new place, and creating meaningful experiences. I’m very grateful for everything the intern group provided and for making this experience both valuable and memorable.

I signed ip for the Madrid programme expecting to get to work in an interesting company, meet amazing people and have a culturally enriching experience - and I was not disappointed. I was placed into a company that matched my skills and interests very well and enjoyed my tasks and work environment. The programme coordinators were always accessible and helpful. I really enjoyed the organised events and trips that brought everyone together and allowed us to see even places outside of Madrid. I would definitely recommend the experience and am very glad I decided to take part in it.

I had a great experience with The Intern Group in Madrid. From the beginning, the team was supportive, responsive, and clear about each step. They checked in regularly, helped me feel settled, and made the overall process smooth and stress-free. I improved my professional skills, gained confidence, and met amazing people. I’d definitely recommend this program to students looking for a well-organized internship abroad.

My experience with The Intern group was excellent. I took the Madrid program in an IT-related role. The whole matching process was great felt really supported by the company and the whole team tried their best to meet my expectations. When I arrived in Madrid had a wonderful experience in my job, I was really happy with my role and all the activities that Corinne suggested, also felt really supported by Lalita in everything I needed. I definitely recommend this program and company, thanks!

I interned in Madrid for one month and then finished my internship fir the second month remotely. It was literally so fun! It was my first time in Spain and even though it was fall It was thr perfect weather. The program did pretty much all of the work from finding my housing to organizing a ride from the airport so the trip was so smooth and laid out. They even organized trips for me to visit other parts of spain outside of Madrid. I got to spend thanksgiving in Europe and see some christmas lights which was absolutely beautiful. Even thoigh I was interning it literally felt like a well planned out vacation where I just had everything planned out for me! I loved it.
