CEA CAPA Internships in Seville, Spain

My time with the CEA CAPA Seville study abroad and internship program was great! My internship consisted of me teaching English at an academy. My internship location was further than most, but they did try to accommodate this by providing everyone with an initial transportation card with money on it, and reduced the amount of hours I actually had to be at my internship. The location of Seville was very nice, people were welcoming, and I got to partake in a lot of cultural events. The only thing I would say that was confusing was the logistics of the internship hours, since no matter how many credit hours you chose for the internship class (either 3 or 6), you all do the same 20 hours a week. I did end up just switching to the 6-credit hour section because of this, but I know some people wanted the 3-credit hour section to do fewer hours, since they were most likely taking another class for an additional 3 credit hours. However, despite this, I did enjoy both the program and the experience.

As a pre-medical student, I was given the unique opportunity to intern at a hospital in Seville. I assisted in the emergency room, urgent care, and hospitalization areas, shadowed various specialties, and improved my Spanish language skills while supporting patient needs. Throughout the process, I learned more about myself, built relationships with physicians who I am still in contact with today, and was able to develop skills essential for my career development. The staff was invaluable in supporting and guiding me throughout the process, and I could not be more grateful!

Living, studying, and working in a new country was one of the most special things I have ever experienced. Especially because it was such a great city filled with green spaces, community, and culture. My homestay was the highlight of my experience, and I am still in contact with my host family today because they were like a new real family to me. Being able to do an internship was also such a unique experience - seeing the work culture and attitudes and Spain and being able to bring that back to my career in the US. Wouldn't trade this experience for the world!

I had the most wonderful experience studying with CEA CAPA in Sevilla! The program exceeded all my expectations, and I couldn’t have asked for a better academic and cultural experience. The teachers were truly incredible! So supportive, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. It was clear that they genuinely cared about their students, always going above and beyond to ensure we felt encouraged and engaged.

Beyond the classroom, the program provided so many opportunities to immerse ourselves in Spanish culture, from excursions to local events, making Sevilla feel like a second home. I’m so grateful for everything I learned and the connections I made. If you’re considering studying abroad, I can’t recommend CEA CAPA Sevilla enough!

I went to Seville knowing absolutely no one and came out with several close friends. Though I was initially nervous about traveling the world alone, I can't imagine if I hadn't- it was truly one of the best times of my life. I was able to learn so much about the culture, gain independence, and bond with other study-abroad students. I can't recommend this experience enough, and on top of it, the CEA CAPA staff was incredibly nice and helpful with anything we needed. The program also included 3 excursions which were wonderful and so thoughtfully planned.

My abroad experience wouldn't have been nearly as successful as it was without the support, care, and thoroughness of the CEA CAPA program and staff. My semester abroad was one of the absolute most well-supported semesters I have experienced throughout college, and I credit that entirely to the wonderful staff at CEA CAPA from the moment I applied to the day I left Spain. Every aspect of the program was meticulously organized, allowing for a seamless transition to living in Spain. I cannot speak highly enough about my living accommodations, the on-site staff in Seville, the classes I took at the program center, or my overall experience abroad with CEA CAPA. I felt that my semester abroad was truly optimized by the program—from excursion-based classes and culture-based workshops to weekend trips, CEA CAPA ensured I would make the most of my time abroad, and I couldn't be more grateful. My experiences in this program offered invaluable insight into the culture of my host city and country and gave me memories I will cherish forever, making my study abroad experience not only educational but also deeply personal and rewarding.

Studying abroad was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It pushed me out of my comfort zone, offering a new cultural perspective while fostering personal growth. The opportunity to study in a different country enriched my academic experience, and I gained valuable life skills like independence, adaptability, and global awareness.

Beyond the classroom, traveling to nearby cities and connecting with students from around the world created lasting memories and friendships. If you’re considering studying abroad, do it—you won’t regret it! It’s an experience that will shape you for life.

All aspects of my semester in Sevilla were truly amazing! I took classes and worked an internship, which was such a cool opportunity. CEA classes were fun and informative, thanks to the passionate professors. My internship was at a law firm, which allowed me to gain unique experience in my desired career path, as well as improve my Spanish on a daily basis. I was really able to step out of my comfort zone. I can confidently say that I grew as a student, a professional, and a person while abroad!
