Graduate Professional Internships in Europe
 

Finding a good internship is like finding a good job -- you need to start early and work at it. The Maxwell School will provide you with the guidance you need to maximize your time in Europe. The International Relations Program maintains a database with exciting internships in the European Union, and we rely also on past participants in the program for feedback on where we can next develop opportunities to meet your needs and interests. For assistance, contact the IR Global Programs Coordinator. In addition, the Global Programs Coordinator offers resume and cover letter advice, a job search library, and access to many of the Maxwell alumni who work in the areas where you are interested in interning. Throughout Europe, our contacts pursue leads, and offer assistance with the many organizations open to you.
