Internships in A Coruña — FAQ
The questions our coordinators answer most often before a placement.
- What internships are available in A Coruña?
- A Coruña hosts placements in Fashion, Marketing & Business, IT, Engineering & Design. We match students with vetted host companies based on academic background, languages and career goals — typically a 2–6 month training agreement (convenio de prácticas) signed by your university.
- Is the internship in A Coruña paid?
- Most placements in A Coruña include a monthly stipend of €300–€900 depending on sector — IT and engineering roles pay at the top of that band, tourism and hospitality trainees are often paid €0–€400 plus accommodation. Erasmus+ grants stack on top of any stipend.
- Do I need to speak Spanish for an internship in A Coruña?
- Spanish & Galician is the local working language. Multinationals and most tech / marketing scale-ups in A Coruña operate in English, so B2 English is usually enough — but conversational Spanish widens the shortlist significantly and is essential for client-facing roles.

- Interns in A Coruña typically budget €700–€1,100/month all-in, split roughly 50 % rent, 20 % food, 5 % transport and 25 % leisure. Central neighbourhoods cost more.
- Which neighbourhood should I live in during my A Coruña internship?
- Pick an area within 30 minutes of your host company by public transport. Our coordinator maps districts against your placement address on the pre-arrival call.
