Internships in Barcelona, Spain

Sitting pristinely on Spain’s northeast coastline looking out over the Mediterranean Sea, Barcelona has long been one of Europe’s most influential centers of economic and cultural activity. Before the recession, in fact, Barcelona was ranked as Europe’s fourth best city for business, and now it continues progressing toward a full comeback. In a city widely regarded for its beautiful beaches, laid-back pulse, and dramatic works of the infamous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi, an internship abroad in Barcelona will thus also be the opportunity to advance your global career in whatever field you are most passionate about.

The Best 4 Months of My Life

December 03, 2025by: Areeza Kabani - United StatesProgram: Internships Abroad in Barcelona - Summer
9

Studying abroad in Barcelona is genuinely the best decision I have ever made in my life, & I don't think anything will ever top this experience. Expanish provided everything, from housing to day trips & even introduced me to my closest friends. From cooking family dinners in our residence hall to taking a 34-person program trip to Morocco, every moment in Barcelona made every anxious though worth it :') I couldn't imagine going abroad & choosing any other program. One of my biggest fears was struggling to make friends in my classes, but our program placed us together & basically forced us to bond, & it ended up being the best part of studying abroad. I love every single person I've met here & I can't believe that I have to leave it all behind in 3 weeks.The worst part of studying abroad genuinely is having to leave. If you're debating going abroad, do it. Please.
