Brussels:
The Political Heart of Europe
Brussels is the principal center of the European Parliament and the European Commission. It is also home to the political arm of NATO and the corporate headquarters of many multinational firms. Students have the chance to work at the very center of European decision-making.
But Brussels isn’t just about politics. Its museums and architecture are considered among the finest in Europe and EPA offers excellent internship opportunities in museums and galleries, media and publishing, law, NGOs, marketing and public relations, business and banking, and representations of foreign governments.
See the Internships and Course pages for more details.

Living in Brussels
The city has an efficient metro system that makes commuting easy, but many people
prefer to walk - particularly in the well-preserved medieval center. Being
a truly multicultural city, you’ll find every type of restaurant here,
and what’s more, it’s a great base for traveling to all parts of
Europe.
Accommodation
Accomodation is secured for students by the Brussels program director before their arrival. Students live in shared studio apartments (combined bedroom and living quarters for 2 EPA students) or in rented sections of family homes (private bedrooms) where bathroom and/or kitchen facilities may be shared with other students or the owners.
