Internship Jobs + Spanish Language Course

Spanish + Internship Jobs in Barcelona, Madrid, Salamanca or Seville

Internships are one of the best ways to explore what job you might like to choose after university. An internship job in Spain will not only build your CV and language skills, it will also give you a firsthand look at the world of work and everyday life in one of Europe's fastest growing economies.

Combining high level language study and professional work experience

This programme offers you the unique opportunity to gain professional work experience abroad. You will learn Spanish business protocol and will do business in a culture completely different from your own while you gain fluency both in formal Spanish and professional jargon.

This combined language and work experience programme is designed to promote the acquisition of high level Spanish skills while providing hands-on professional work experience and complete immersion in Spanish within a professional office environment. We consider giving you the most realistic experience possible, an essential part of the programme. Entrance requirements are high, admission is competitive, and a high level of classroom and job performance is expected.

An example of this program could be to combine a Spanish language course in Salamanca with a summer internship job in Madrid.

Committed to your success

During your internship, we're with you every step of the way. From the first week you arrive you'll have weekly meetings with our internship team to define your area of interest, develop your Spanish CV and practice in mock interviews.

The internship jobs program at don Quijote is structured in two phases:
