Co-Curricular Opportunities
In the Master of Arts in European Studies program, your learning goes beyond the classroom.
Through international and professional experiences, you’ll be prepared for an impactful career upon graduation.
Study abroad
The BMW Center for German and European Studies partners with the Hertie School, a private international school of public policy located in Berlin Mitte, to expand the international experience of up to five second-year students at the School of Foreign Service. If selected, you can spend the fall of your second year there. During the exchange semester, you’ll matriculate in Hertie’s Master of International Affairs (MIA) program. The working language at Hertie is English.
M.A. in European Studies students are given priority consideration. Applications are due in January during your first year at Georgetown.
Internships
The MAES community offers plenty of opportunities for internships throughout your studies, developing valuable skills relevant to your career trajectory and expanding your network. You are required to complete at least one internship or research assistantship during your program (this requirement may be waived with approval from the Associate Director). Summer funding is available to help students complete unpaid or low-paid internships during the summer between their first and second year. To find and secure an internship, you can seek assistance from our alumni, our associate director and the SFS Career Center.
