Program Overview

Location Overview:

Granada is a city bursting with historic charm. Located at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Spain's Andalusia region, students can explore winding cobblestone streets, admire breathtaking views of Islamic architecture, and visit buildings dating back to the 14th century. Granada is also famous for its delicious cuisine, particularly its tapas culture, as well as its vibrant street markets and lively flamenco shows in the Sacromonte district.

The city center is compact, making it easy to explore on foot. Students can encounter many charming surprises, beautiful monuments, and meaningful landmarks at every turn. The people of Granada are known for being very polite and welcoming. In recent decades, tourism and hospitality have become major industries in the city. Other key sectors include commerce and sales, technology and digital services, health and wellness, as well as agriculture and food processing.

What is GlobalWorks?

GlobalWorks internships are personalized internship programs that bring you out of the country, and into the workplace. We connect academic study with real-world experiences by providing full-time international internship opportunities to UO students in various career fields. Working with local professional internship providers in locations around the world, we provide individualized placements for UO students. Students earn UO credits and life-changing work experience in a different culture. Immerse yourself in a new city, earn UO course credits, and gain professional experience with a GlobalWorks internship.

Location Note: 

Programs in select GlobalWorks locations such as this one have a rolling admission application process. Due to a high volume of applications and limited spaces, GEO staff will complete a review of the application materials of complete applications in the order that they are submitted (“first come, first serve”). Students are encouraged to identify alternate locations that they would feel comfortable interning in, or note if you are only interested in interning at this site. There are some programs that fill fast, some even before the deadline. Students are encouraged to complete applications and commit to programs early. A waitlist will be created, but students should be aware that being on the waitlist does not guarantee acceptance into a location.
