Study Trip to the European Institutions
One of the best ways to learn about European and international organisations is to visit them. That is why a study trip to Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg is an essential part of the programme. The students meet with public officials who explain the mission of their institution and aspects of their work. These visits enable the students to gain an insight into the working environment of European and international organisations, to make useful contacts and to learn about recruitment procedures.
Among recent visits:
 Brussels: Council of the European Union, European Commission, European External Action Service
Luxembourg: Court of Justice of the European Union, European Investment Bank
Strasbourg: European Parliament (including a plenary session), Council of Europe, European Court of Human Rights
