Internships

Get out of the classroom and into the community! Immerse yourself in Spanish culture, make connections, and gain invaluable hands-on experience.

NYU Madrid has partnered with EUSA, a non-profit organization that works with universities and colleges to provide students with internship opportunities in Europe.  If accepted into the program, students will work with EUSA to find and accept an internship placement.  This for-credit program offers a 11 week internship component with a required weekly seminar for a total of 4 credits (application required, details below).

Students in this program learn more about Spanish society, culture, and professional life through placements in a wide variety of agencies and organizations.  You must be flexible, open-minded, adaptable, a self-starter, and ready for the challenge of new situations and cross-cultural engagement.

Required Internship Seminar Course Description

Button: display or hide Internship Seminar Fieldwork - NODEP-UA 9982 or INDIV-UG 9TBA - 4 points

Enrollment by permission only. Application required. 

This 4 credit course includes a weekly seminar and three partial or full days of fieldwork per week at an approved internship fieldsite. Internship placements are made by EUSA, an organization partnering with NYU Madrid.

The seminar portion of the course explores many different aspects of your internship site. The goal is to finish the semester with an in-depth understanding of the company or organization, including its approach, its policies, and the context in which it operates. We will also discuss more generally the state of the contemporary workplace and ourselves as workers. Finally, you will use the seminar to reflect critically and analytically on the internship experience and as a way to refine your own personal and professional goals.
