Seville fits the bill for the archetypal Spain of intimate flamenco venues, crowded tapas bars and orange-tree scented squares busy with the throng of cheerful “Sevillanos”. The lively historic center encompasses the Real Alcázar (Royal Palace), Cathedral and Giralda Tower and the Barrio Santa Cruz (historic Jewish Quarter) and embodies the city’s rich cultural heritage as a Moorish capital and a prosperous 16th-century trading port. There is plenty to do, see and explore in Seville.
Teeming with thousands of businesses, NGOs, and agencies both big and small, Spanish Internship participants will find that Seville is a dream city for those looking to strengthen their knowledge in numerous fields like business, marketing, tourism and travel, events, sports, graphic design and fashion among others.
Internships in Seville are full-time, for 8 weeks during the summer or 12 weeks during the fall and spring terms.
Living in the heart of the region of Andalucía, Southern Spain, prepare for your future career by developing foundational professional skills and create memories that will last a lifetime!

Edu Padial
Hola! My name is Edu and I have been working for AIFS since 2007, when I began coordinating language exchanges for AIFS students in Granada my hometown. From there, I began organizing more activities, weekend trips and even summer programs, which I continue to work on to this day. I studied Tourism and Work Science, an MBA, and then I worked and studied in London which was a great experience.
I love playing sports such as football, going snowboarding, running and so on. Another passion of mine is traveling, so it is a pleasure to work for AIFS, where I get to travel a lot, as well as enjoy all the activities we arrange for students. Each semester is a new experience and I absolutely love hearing about all your adventures!
I look forward to showing you Seville and helping you to adapt and make the most of your experience in Spain.

Social identity & access
One of the best things you can do before departure is enter into the journey knowing that your time abroad will be unique to this experience. The resources, community, and support available to you when abroad will likely be different as well. In order to help you prepare for your experience, we have compiled many resources about social identity and access in specific locations abroad. Your program staff will also provide you with more details pre-departure and during orientation.
