York University is a member of the Network for European Studies. The network organizes the European Study Tour and Internship (EUSTIP).
The European Study Tour and Internship 2019 is run through the University of Victoria and is open to all eligible York University students.
The EU Study Tour takes place annually in May, and over the course of three weeks students will visit Brussels, Luxembourg, Strasbourg and Frankfurt, key sites of European Union institutions and civil society organizations. Students will engage with representatives of the EU’s administrative and political leadership, such as the European Commission, Parliament, Court of Justice, and Central Bank, along with other European organizations such as NATO, the European Court of Human Rights, and the Canadian Mission to the EU. The Tour is not simply an accredited course, it is a full immersion into European history, culture, and political formation, a program for self-directed and independent study.
In addition to the Tour, a number of qualified participants are offered internship opportunities with EU institutions and other organizations following completion of the Tour. The 2019 internships are two months in duration, and are completed by the end of August, at the latest.
