St. Paul’s University (SPU) is taking its mission of internationalization to new heights! As part of our ongoing commitment to global excellence, an SPU delegation is currently in Malaga, Spain, participating in the 2nd Edition of the Erasmus+ Staff Week, hosted by CPIFP Alan Turing.
Building on the incredible foundation laid during the inaugural Staff Week in 2025, this year’s engagement is unlocking massive opportunities for academic exchange, cutting-edge industry partnerships, and institutional capacity building.
From the Classroom to Malaga: Student Internships Launched
We are thrilled to celebrate a major milestone of this partnership: two of our very own students, Stacy Githua and Eugenia Faith Anyango, have officially commenced a prestigious three-month internship at 64 Software Train, a leading technology company based in Malaga.
"These internships bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world global practice, giving our students invaluable international industry exposure."
What’s Next for SPU Tech & STEM Students?
During the Staff Week consultations, the SPU team engaged in high-level discussions to secure even more opportunities within the renowned Malaga Tech Hub. Future plans include:
- Job Shadowing: For faculty and staff to bring global best practices back to SPU.
- Industrial Attachments: Hands-on roles in international tech firms.
- Targeted Placements: Tailored opportunities specifically for students pursuing Computer Science, BBIT, and other STEM-related programmes.
A Strategic Leap for Competency-Based Education (CBE)
This partnership comes at a defining moment. As St. Paul’s University prepares for the rollout of Competency-Based Education (CBE), bridging the gap between academia and the corporate world is more critical than ever.
By immersing our students and staff in global tech ecosystems like Malaga's, we are ensuring that SPU’s curriculum remains agile, forward-thinking, and aligned with international industry standards.
Picturing Success: SPU in Spain
Our team has been hard at work representing the university on the global stage. Check out some of the highlights from the trip:

The Erasmus+ Impact
Through the Erasmus+ programme, St. Paul’s University continues to elevate its international profile, secure vital funding, and pioneer collaborative projects. We are immensely proud of our staff and students who are flying the SPU flag high in Spain, proving that we don't just train graduates—we produce globally competitive leaders.
