Who is this for?

Primarily for students from Year 11 to Year 13, who:

  • Are preparing for competitive university applications.
  • Want an authentic and unique extracurricular profile.
  • Are genuinely curious about entrepreneurship, business, technology or a specific sector.
  • Are ready to engage in a professional environment.

 

No prior work experience required. Readiness and initiative matter more.

Not just an internship. A competitive advantage.

There’s nothing like this.

And it could be vital for your future.

Because top universities value substance over credentials. Many summer opportunities may look impressive on paper, but without concrete deliverables or genuine accountability, they do little to differentiate a student. The Virtus College Placement Programme is designed to ensure authenticity, depth and real contribution, the qualities that truly strengthen a university application.

Valued by top universities

They look for impact, initiative and real-world contribution.

Over two to four weeks, you'll contribute to real projects inside a startup in Madrid or Barcelona.

    At the end of the programme, you'll complete a guided reflection process and receive a certificate summarising your contribution, learning and growth.

    More than an internship.
    A transformative experience that sets you apart.
