IFSA - Summer Internships in Mexico

Cosmopolitan and charming Mérida is the perfect location for your summer internship. Available for Spanish or English speakers, the internship allows you to gain global work experience while developing interpersonal and intercultural skills that are so important for your future. You’ll find Mérida accessible and welcoming as you explore its Mayan and Spanish architecture and history.

Enhance your learning and develop marketable skills with an eight-week Summer Internship in Mexico. You can start your internship in late May (Session 1) or late June (Session 2), whichever works best for your schedule. You can also combine study with an internship by enrolling in the four-week Summer in Mexico (Session 1) followed by the eight-week Summer Internships in Mexico (Session 2) program. Or, enroll in Summer Internships in Mexico (Session 1) followed by Summer in Mexico (Session 3).
