Biomedical & Biotechnology internships in Valencia, Spain, provide support and assistance to staff across a diverse range of placements. From bioinformatics, human biology, plant biology and research centers, the range of placements offer access to an immersive learning experience, for building confidence and transferable skills for enhanced employability.

This program ranges from 4-24 weeks and has start dates every Monday throughout the year.

Your fully-hosted experience includes sourcing of your internship placement, personalization of your project plan, airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals, and onsite student support. See our full list of fees and inclusions on our website.
 
Suitable for students and recent graduates with at least one year of relevant college/university study in a related field, such as Biological Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Biotechnology, Pharmacology, Physiology, Chemistry, Physics, etc.

This internship is conducted in English; however, outside of Supervisor interactions, a language barrier should be expected, especially when it relates to local clients. With the exception of fluent or native Spanish language speakers, all interns are required to attend 5 (complimentary) Spanish language lessons, within the first 2 weeks of their internship.
 
Biotechnology internship placements may be related to industries such as agriculture, food production, biofuels, renewable energy, virology, and healthcare. If you’re academically inclined toward biomedical engineering instead, then internship placements may be related to the medical industry, biomaterial firms, medical laboratories, (etc). For the internship placement you’re specifically assigned, coordinators will take your current level of studies, experience and abilities into consideration. Note that preferences will be accommodated where possible but are always subject to availability.

Internship experiences vary and if you’re at a more introductory level, or choosing a short-term internship, then you should expect a more introductory internship. In all cases, interns should expect that the first week of your experience will focus on settling in and gaining some introductory knowledge, as you will not “hit the ground running”. Rather, you should start with learning about the placement to gain an understanding of what you can build upon, develop, learn, and contribute. Ensure that you ask questions and provide feedback during the introductory period, so that your supervisor understands how you’re progressing. This will help them to better understand important details, such as how quickly you learn, what you find challenging, what you find interesting, etc.

Interns may collaborate with their host organization to support research and communications, develop knowledge about industry best practice, learn about practical analysis techniques, and gain insight into diverse projects for the development and improvement of technological solutions in healthcare or other industries (through modern use of software, apps, etc). Interns may be involved in projects to collect, prepare and test samples, participate in experimental research, complete reports, review and assist with the development of current projects. Similarly there may be the opportunity to get involved in technology-transfer or business development projects in the field of Life Science, Biotechnology or related.

Spanish language proficiency is not a requirement to join. However, interns should expect that a language barrier can still be encountered to a certain extent. Come prepared and willing to surmount a language barrier (and ask for help when needed), as opposed to being intimidated by it. This internship includes five complimentary Spanish language lessons, which must be scheduled within the first two weeks of the internship. These should be considered mandatory for anyone who is not already a fluent Spanish speaker. Any additional Spanish language lessons must be coordinated and paid for separately. We encourage all interns to take advantage of the opportunity to learn some Spanish skills during their program (or develop their existing vocabulary).
