Spend your fall semester interning in Barcelona, Spain's vibrant capital and a top-10 global destination. This 12-week full-time internship program places you in a guaranteed professional position across diverse career fields including marketing, public relations, finance, tourism, event management, architecture, fashion, NGOs, and more. You'll work alongside talented professionals in a dynamic international business environment while building foundational career skills that will shape your future.

Barcelona offers an unparalleled setting for professional development. With thousands of businesses, NGOs, and agencies ranging from established corporations to innovative startups, the city provides internship opportunities across 20+ career fields. AIFS Abroad's experienced placement team works with you one-on-one to understand your skills, goals, and expectations, ensuring a meaningful match with employers who will challenge and mentor you. Before your internship begins, you'll complete interviews with your prospective manager to confirm the fit.

Beyond the office, you'll immerse yourself in Catalan culture through carefully curated experiences. Your program includes a 3-day excursion to the Pyrenees and Andorra, plus day trips to iconic sites like the Salvador Dalí Museum, Sagrada Família, Park Güell, and the medieval towns of Girona and Montserrat. Weekly cultural activities—from cooking classes and flamenco performances to guided city tours—give you authentic insights into Spanish life. You'll also participate in AIFS Abroad's award-winning Global Career Readiness Program, which combines the CliftonStrengthsFinder assessment, one-on-one career coaching, interview preparation, and networking events to connect your academic knowledge with professional ambitions.

Housing options range from immersive homestays (where you'll eat breakfast and dinner with local families Monday–Friday) to shared apartments with other AIFS students or modern student residences featuring gym access and rooftop pools with Barcelona skyline views. All accommodations include internet, and the program provides 24/7 emergency support, comprehensive health insurance, and on-site staff to guide you through your transition and experience.

You can earn 3 credits through an International Internship course (additional courses available for a fee), with credits issued by Fairfield University, our School of Record. This is ideal if your home university doesn't offer internship credit or if you need credits for graduation. The program is open to first-year through graduate students currently enrolled full-time in university, with rolling admissions meaning you can expect acceptance within 2 working days of completing all requirements. A FREE Eurail Global Pass (valued near $500) is included, plus optional round-trip flights from 25 U.S. gateways are available.
