The EU Study Tour and Internship Program is a unique opportunity for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in a variety of disciplines to immerse themselves in the institutions of the European Union. Students will meet with representatives of European institutions, diplomatic delegations to the EU (including Canada's), policy think tanks, and civil society organizations, and will have the opportunity to have face-to-face contact and dialogue with presenters and seminar leaders from the ranks of those actively involved in the day-to-day work of the EU.
Following the Study Tour, students have the opportunity to undertake an optional internship with a European institution, generally for two months in duration. Most internship positions commence immediately following the completion of the Study Tour. You must complete the Study Tour to be eligible for an internship.
This page contains current and past information for UVic students; students from other participating universities should visit the EU Study Tour home page.
