My Summer Global Internship Journey with UC Berkeley and SAE
by: Sam Michel - United StatesProgram: Barcelona SAE: Academic Study Center (SIS) + Intern SemesterI found the program through UC Berkeley's Summer Global Internships program so my application process was very easy to submit. Once accepted I began working with the program coordinators both in the US and in Spain to begin internship selection. The mandatory class offered as a supplement to our internship was very fun and interesting and an easy A+ if you're willing to interact and ask questions in lectures, which is an easy task since our professor was super personable. My internship place...
Unforgettable Abroad Experience
by: Parsa Ansari - United StatesProgram: Barcelona SAE: Academic Study Center (SIS) + Intern SemesterI had so much fun with Barcelona SAE! They truly made it a priority for us to feel as comfortable as possible during our internships. They were always available for questions and concerns, and gave us emergency contact cards if we ever needed help. The staff were always kind and welcoming — I was always so excited to walk into the Barcelona SAE office and be greeted with smiles and laughs. Would definitely recommend :)
Memorable Experience
by: Joanna Duran - United StatesProgram: Barcelona SAE: Academic Study Center (SIS) + Intern SemesterMy experience with the Barcelona SAE has been amazing. My summer program with Barcelona SAE included a Mediterranean Foods and Culture class and an internship.

I learned a lot about my field of study and had an insight into how it might look. The teams in Barcelona SAE did an amazing job organizing the program for ...

I wanted to experience big city life. I grew up in a semi-small town in Missouri, so living in Barcelona for the summer sounded so chic and modern to me! (Turns out that I like greenery more than I like the concrete jungle, though!)

What inspired you to travel abroad?
Growing up in a small town outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan, I was always curious about the world around me and what was out there. When I was a freshman in high school, my orchestra had the opportunity to participate in a music festival in Northern England. It was my first taste of the international travel bug, and from there, I was absolutely hooked.
