EURUS Internship Program
The Institute administers an optional internship program for fourth-year EURUS undergraduate and graduate students. Following a selection process, successful applicants are placed with an Ottawa-based organization during the winter semester for, on average, one day per week. Students selected for the internship program also register in a 0.5 credit course EURR 5301/4206 that supplements the internship experience. Many students have found the internship program to be integral to their time at EURUS as it provides them with valuable work experience in a field related to their studies, gives them the opportunity to network, and introduces possible career paths.
