Internship opportunities across Spain, China, the Netherlands, the UK and beyond — curated for people with international profiles. Research programmes, graduate schemes, fellowships and news that actually applies to your situation.
Share ideas and projects, hear how others approached applications and careers, and build experience that stands out on a CV or scholarship application.
Meet founders, builders and young professionals across Spain, China, the UK, the Netherlands and beyond — and find collaborators, advice and early opportunities.

About CHESOC
Culture as foundation. Network as strength.
Our Mission
Chinese Heritage Elite Society in Spain is a student-led, non-profit community connecting Chinese heritage students, from Spain and across leading global institutions. We are a global network of youth talent and resources that started in Spain, bringing together people from secondary school to the early stages of their careers.
Founded by students from diverse academic and cultural backgrounds, the Society provides a platform for cultural exchange, leadership development and cross-discipline collaboration across culture, entrepreneurship and education.
We believe that engaging with heritage in an international academic environment strengthens both personal identity and global perspective.
Operating by students, for students, CHESOC seeks to build a lasting network that connects heritage, excellence, and future leadership within Spain's international academic community.
We are proud to operate in partnership with BOSI Intercultural, which provides institutional support, resources, and community connections.

Careers & Growth
A high-end platform connecting members to internships, conferences and professional opportunities — and to each other.
Internships & Careers
Openings across Spain, the UK, China and the Netherlands, passed between members who have applied, interviewed and been through the process.
Summer research, fellowships and programmes shared early, with first-hand notes from members who took part.
What different industries look for, how recruitment cycles work, and which paths members have taken.
Curated updates, deadlines and opportunities, sent to members and shared across the community.
Members remind one another about application deadlines, programmes and events worth attending.
Many of us move between Spain, China and the UK. Advice on studying and working across borders comes from people living it.
Conferences & Events
Conferences and forums that bring members together with speakers, employers and peers from different industries and countries.
Practical sessions on applications, interviews and career paths, often led by members and young professionals.
In-person and online evenings to meet members across universities, cities and career stages.
Founders & Network
Members starting projects and ventures find collaborators, feedback and early supporters inside the community.
Share an idea, look for co-founders or advisers, and hear from members who have already started something.
Run by students with the aim of a lasting, high-quality platform that members can rely on and add to.
Members study at institutions including Imperial College London, Erasmus University Rotterdam and the University of Manchester.
Graduates and early-career members stay connected and open doors for those a few steps behind.
A community spread across several countries, so there is usually someone to ask wherever you are heading next.
Sharing
Older members share how they chose, applied and settled in — for secondary students and first-years finding their way.
Peer feedback on CVs, cover letters and interview preparation from people who recently went through it.
Older and younger members swap what they have learned, including help with subjects and study. It is part of being in the community.
Community Hub
A place for members to put ideas, projects and questions in front of the community — and to meet others who can add to them.
Ways to Take Part
Post a project, a question or something you are curious about. Members who care about the same thing get in touch.
Looking for a co-founder, a teammate, someone from a particular university or city? Say so and we make the introduction.
Application stories, interview tips, study habits — what worked and what did not, shared openly between members.
Spain, the UK, China, the Netherlands and beyond. Ideas travel further when members in different places hear about them.
A first-year and a graduate can each learn from the other. The community works because ideas move in both directions.
Conversations started here often continue at CHESOC events and meet-ups. See the Events page for what is coming up.
What Members Share
Early-stage ideas, side projects and startups looking for feedback or collaborators.
From choosing a university to preparing for an interview, put the question to the community.
Internships, conferences and events worth passing on. Send them in and we share them with members.
