UMW EUSA Paris Internships
Spend your summer honing your professional skills on this 8-week program in Paris, France including one week of orientation and a seven-week internship. From the arts to politics, business to communications, healthcare, education, law or NGO’s, the EUSA Paris placement team will provide a broad spectrum of intellectually stimulating internships based on your preferred industry sector and personal goals.
Accommodations
Students will live in homestay accommodations.
Coursework
Students will earn up to 6 transfer credits for the 8-week internship. A few months before the program students will have an internship consultation meeting with the placement team via Skype and will be assigned a provisional placement based on skills, professional goals and interests. Most students will learn of their provisional placement prior to departure for France, others will learn upon arrival. Once in France, students will have an on-site interview with the placement supervisor and internships will be finalized. Each internship experience will be monitored through a mid-point review and feedback.
This course satisfies the Experiential Learning/Beyond the Classroom General Education Requirement.
