What the students say about us
Ashley Baker, Furman University
In Brussels, I took two of my classes at Vesalius College (VUB) - a small private international college - French and International Business Negotiations. In International Business Negotiations, there were students from Portugal, Italy, Belgium, India, United States, Canada, France, Spain, Latvia, Germany, and the list goes on. Collaborating with students from these diverse countries and cultures is truly a learning experience in itself.

At the conclusion of [my internship], I realized just how much this experience has meant to me as the bittersweet feeling sunk in. It was hard to say goodbye to [my supervisor]. She was so welcoming and eager to share information with me about the organization. I feel so fortunate to have worked with someone so passionate about not only her work, but about the world as a whole.

Jon Pesota, University of Rochester
When studying abroad in London, I completed an internship with the Islington and City Credit Union. By completing this internship I got a great hands on experience and really got to see how credit unions worked inside and out. I did not just concentrate in one division or area, I was able to expand my horizons and touch on every aspect of the credit union. Some tasks I completed throughout the internship included: working with members accounts, conducting marketing research, attending monthly board meetings, attending court hearings, and promoting loan sales based on my research. I can truly say it was a great experience and I learned the foundations of the banking system as a whole.

As the capital of the European Union (EU), Brussels is a vibrant multinational city that is well adapted to its role. The city is centrally located among the EU Member States, and the Commission and Parliament buildings stand tall as destinations for politicians, students, and tourists from across Europe and the world. The EU institutions provide more than just a center for politics: there are EU-based art galleries and programming events, such as “Green Week,” which we encountered during the first week of the program. For my internship with the European Parliament (EP), I was placed with MEP Emma McClarkin, who represents the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. Ms. McClarkin is a member of committees for Culture and Education, Internal Market and Consumer Protection, and International Development.

This program allowed myself as a student to not only to take a class and intern at a prominent organization but also allowed the students enough free time to travel to other cities in Europe, which for me was a once in a lifetime opportunity!

I just completed an incredible internship experience in Edinburgh, Scotland with EPA Internships in Europe. I was an intern for the Scottish Parliament during a major campaign season, and during my stay I participated in one of the most historical and exciting political times since the reopening of the new Scottish Parliament.
