Dublin: EUSA Internship
Dublin is the capital city and modern center of education, arts, administration, economy and industry in Ireland. With half its population under 30, it is young, outward looking, and vibrant, while its smaller size creates great advantages for newcomers. A recent economic boom has attracted global pharmaceutical and information technology companies that now have European headquarters or operational bases in the city. Placements are available for undergraduates in almost any major who would like to gain valuable work experience.
You will participate in the intern program working full time, six
hours, four days a week, for eight weeks. Work placements are in
professional offices in an industry related to your academic major and
career goals. Because the program is designed to be academic in
nature, the internships are unpaid.
To ensure your adjustment to the city and the program, the
program begins with a one week long orientation prior to the
commencement of the internship.
