Internship: An internship in Spanish allows students the opportunity to gain practical work experience in a local company within a variety of industry sectors (startups, tourism, digital industries, marketing, etc.). In addition to the on-site business experience, students participating in an internship program have a weekly classroom seminar component, which provides academic support to their practical experience. Students must have a student visa to be able to comply with local labor laws.
Directed Independent Research is for qualified students who have demonstrated academic rigor and curiosity toward a particular research topic. Independent research topics will be approved by the CIEE Madrid Director and must reflect a topic that is relevant to Madrid or Spain. To be considered for this course, students must submit a structured proposal with the topic of exploration and the significance of the research topic. Upon research completion, students will present their findings to a panel of academics.
