Program Overview
Spend six weeks interning in Barcelona—one of the world's most electric, innovative cities—as an engineering or computer science student ready to level up your resume and your life experience. As an intern, you'll gain marketable, real-world skills while learning what it means to work in a global professional context. We match you with a placement tailored to your background, career goals, interests, and skills, at local companies and start-ups.
Students will intern approximately 30 hours per week, plus additional time weekly on an online course led by a UC Davis instructor. Along the way, small group activities, and a variety of events will help you integrate into the city, your cohort, and your internship—all while soaking up Barcelona's unbeatable mix of Gaudí's surreal architecture, Mediterranean beaches, and vibrant Catalan culture.
Limited placements will be available in the following engineering fields: civil, environmental, biomedical, chemical, electrical and aerospace. There are no limitations for other engineering and computer science fields. Check with the program coordinator regarding capacity prior to enrolling.
The global pandemic has changed the way some career fields approach daily work. Students may encounter a hybrid workplace where they will adopt schedules similar to their coworkers, such as some days in the office, some days working remotely, and experiences both in person and online.
