The Students

Students who come on the program often have considerable related work experience either as employees or as interns. Therefore, the students arrive with high aspirations and hope to take on a range of duties and projects, after a period of getting to know the agency. The students do understand that they must be adaptable and willing to do what is asked of them, as some of the placements will involve fairly routine tasks.

Students placed in Europe

Students placed in London, Dublin, Madrid, Paris and Geneva come from universities all over the United States. They are normally "juniors"(3rd year) or "seniors" (4th year) and some may be graduates. The average age of a student is 21 and experience has shown that the great majority of students accepted for internships are mature, motivated and capable of undertaking real responsibilities and demanding work.

Students placed in the United States:

Students placed in internships in the United States are both American students and international students participating on exchanges at US universities. They are at both graduate and undergraduate levels. For international students, visas are arranged by EUSA through the student's academic programs. All international students have a very high level of English and most will speak a third and fourth language. Language requirements can be specified in the sponsor job description.
