Meet Queenie LEE, a 2025 graduate from the Department of Counselling and Psychology, who interned at a Montessori nursery school in Barcelona last summer.

“My internship in Barcelona was an immensely rewarding and transformative experience. It gave me invaluable, hands-on insight into early childhood education in a well-regarded Montessori setting. The biggest lesson I took away was the importance of approaching childhood education from a respectful and observant perspective.

This experience strengthened my passion for education and equipped me with practical skills, a respectful pedagogical approach, and a global perspective that I’ll carry into my future career. It also served as a catalyst for my personal growth. Living and working abroad on my own boosted my self-confidence and problem-solving skills.

The internship was a perfect blend of professional development and personal discovery, and I’d highly recommend an international experience like this to any student eager to broaden their horizons.”
