The European Academic/Internship Semester provides full linguistic and cultural immersion into the societies of French- or German-speaking countries through a combination of intensive language training, academic study and, whenever feasible, supervised working experience on location in Europe.

Semester I is usually spent at a university in either the French- or German-speaking area of Europe. Students will be placed individually or in very small groups at selected partner institutions of the European Studies Programme/Department of GIS. The course of study will normally comprise intensive foreign language learning and selected academic courses, as they are available at the respective partner institutions.
