Madrid Internship

Madrid is a thriving metropolis of close to 6 million, filled with pubs, cafes, and clubs.  Spain is also drenched in the historical pageantry of empire and conquistadors, the artistic legacy of Goya, Velázquez, Picasso and Dalí, and the romance of Don Quijote, Papa Hemingway and the International Brigades. 

This program offers opportunities to intern with major companies such as Mercedes, Telefónica, Merck-Sharp as well as leading hotels and newspapers such as El Mundo.  Housing options include shared apartments or homestays. This is a great option if you have completed at least 4 semesters of college level Spanish.
