Internships in Salamanca — FAQ
The questions our coordinators answer most often before a placement.
- What internships are available in Salamanca?
- Salamanca hosts placements in Education, Tourism & Hospitality. 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 Salamanca paid?

- Do I need to speak Spanish for an internship in Salamanca?
- Castilian Spanish — clearest accent in Spain is the local working language. Multinationals and most tech / marketing scale-ups in Salamanca operate in English, so B2 English is usually enough — but conversational Spanish widens the shortlist significantly and is essential for client-facing roles.

- 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.
