EU Internships University of Manchester Careers Blog

EU Internships University of Manchester Careers Blog As Ive been looking at internships today, thought some of you might like a summary of internships (they call them Traineeships) offered by various European Union bodies. There are far more EU bodies than Id ever imagined (34 on this list of internships!), including many which I know would appeal to postgrads from a wide range of disciplines, including science and engineering, as well as social science and language postgrads. There is an EU Careers site with lots of useful info on different roles and levels. However, I did end up going round in circles looking for details of any current vacancies on the Traineeships page. Finally I realised that you had to look at the 2 page pdf Quick Guide to EU Traineeships to find clickable links to all the different institutions and agencies which had details of Traineeships on their own websites. The document does have a handy list of who recruits when for the main institutions, ie: European Commission European Parliament European External Action Service European Council Court of Justice Court of Auditors Economic and Social Committee Committee of the Regions European Ombudsman European Central Bank European Data Protection Supervisor It also gets you to the right pages to find out about traineeships at 23 other EU agencies and bodies, where many of the non-policy/admin/language traineeships are something for lots of postgrad specialists there. There do seem to be quite a few with closing dates of 1 December, so dont put this off or you may have to wait another year for your ideal internship.

However, be aware that you will normally need to offer another of the official EU languages in addition to English ie French or German.
