TESTIMONIALS
ERASMUS INTERNSHIPs
WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT US
“I would like to start by saying that unfortunately, my internship in Granada lasted only 3 months. I would have loved to spend there more time and reasons for that are both personal and professional. Granada is a wonderful city to live in not only for its famous touristic places and its vibrant atmosphere but also for having everything within reach. Talking about the job I was very glad that I had a possibility to work as both Office Assistant and Translator, which let me gain relevant experience in my field and learn new things in the other.”

“During my internship, I had to manage mainly the educational and cultural part of a European project for VET learners. Secondly, I had a variety of office duties such as: client management, communications by email and telephone and timetable management. It was a great experience for me, because it enriched both my personal and professional background. If I had the opportunity to repeat it I would do it without hesitation.”

” I’m a Civil Engineering graduate with a strong interest in architecture and conservation and strengthening of old structures (that was my master thesis all about). Working for 4,5 months in Doctum helped me to develop knowledge about a subject completely unfamiliar to me then (like islamic architecture details) and I had fun in the workshop creating some pretty ornamental pieces in the same time. During the weekends there was enough time to discover the beauty and diversity of Andalucia, and during the weekdays – enough tapas bars to visit! In the semester we also had a chance to learn spanish in classes specially arranged by Julio – very useful. For the sun, food, people and landscapes – I would very recommend the internship “

All the people that are working there are really friendly, kind, helpful and you will never feel worried or stressed around them.

"I completed a 10 month long internship as an English Teacher in the Afterschool Academy and I am incredibly grateful for having had this opportunity abroad. Spain, and especially Granada turned out to be a perfect place to acquire experience for students and young adults. Apart from teaching and bonding with my students, I had the opportunity to travel around Andalucia and discover the fantastic Spanish culture and language. I can undoubtedly say that taking part in the Erasmus+ mobility program was the best decision I could have made after graduating with a BA degree in Hungary, since it has enhanced my wish of becoming a language instructor and taught me how to become independent.
