Highlights: Politics Internships

Interns in offices of Members of the European Parliaments (MEPs) are involved in research, handling correspondence, and attending committee meetings.

Placement with a non-English-speaking MEP will depend on availability as well as the strength of the student's skill in the language of the internship.
