Spanish class
Spanish improves your chances of being hired and makes daily life with colleagues and neighbours easier — the fastest route into the local culture.
Destination — Spain
Intern in Spain. Where Europe meets the Latin world.
Barcelona and Madrid placements across business, engineering, media, hospitality and more — with accommodation, airport pickup, 24/7 support and Spanish immersion from day one.
Overview
Historic, modern, and a centre of global business.
Spain is a historic yet thoroughly modern country and a hub of international business. Culturally Western, it is also shaped deeply by its Roman heritage and Latin character — a mix that makes it a fascinating place to live and work.
Spanish began here and is now spoken natively by roughly 406 million people — second only to Mandarin. Surrounded by it every day, you will pick the language up remarkably fast.
Spanish companies have gone multinational, expanding across Latin America — where Spain is the second largest foreign investor after the United States — and into Asia, especially China and India.

Alumni in Spain
In their own words.
"I gained valuable opportunity, international insight, lifelong skills and precious references. I am more all-rounded and better prepared for my career — I could not ask for more."
"Working with Spanish colleagues, living the local culture and travelling around Spain broadened my horizons and created a real edge for my future applications and job hunting."
"My colleagues came from many different countries, so I learned about their cultures too. After being immersed in a completely new western culture, I now want to work abroad."
"I became more independent and decisive. I made friends from many backgrounds and got deep insight into Spanish language, food, dance and history — it helped me see the life I want."
"I learned far more about overseas civil projects, and it encouraged me to work abroad after graduation. I would suggest more students join an overseas internship — it is worth it."
"The working and living culture is very different from Hong Kong. People in Spain are extremely helpful and always willing to give a hand when you need it."
