Semester and Summer Internships and Service Learning
Seville, Spain
Semester and summer-long internships allow you to gain professional experience while improving your Spanish.
Internships and service learning opportunities allow you access to the
work culture and daily life of local citizens, often hidden to students
studying abroad, and to more fully integrate into the local culture.
When applying for an internship or service learning project,
you have the benefit of specifying what you would like your internship
to look like. Spanish Studies will strive to match you with the best available placement to help you integrate into sevillano work culture.
Internships focus upon practical experience in a
local business, while service learning projects focus on engagement in
the local culture through community service in a local organization. The
curricula of the Seville Internship programs are centered around
your individual work experience. Complementary courses help you to work
through the linguistic and cultural challenges you may run into while in
the field.
Fields of Placement:

meet your interests. Students have completed placements in a variety of
