Internships and Extracurricular Academic Opportunities
CES students are invited to take advantage of the internship and volunteer opportunities available to them. The Jagiellonian University cooperates with numerous important research centres in Europe, and the Centre for European Studies has contacts with local organisations and NGOs that could provide students with the opportunity to become acquainted with the contemporary goals, challenges and progress of Krakow’s best independent institutions. Additionally, it is recommended that students take part in the multitude of conferences and workshops organised in Poland and Europe by submitting abstracts and papers to be presented to an international audience. CES staff is available to help locate and prepare for these opportunities.
Study Trips
Undergraduate students are also encouraged to take part in our study trips as a fun way to complement classroom learning and to see for themselves the transformations in Central and Eastern Europe. Every semester, an integration trip and one week-long educational trip (which is covered by the cost of tuition) are organised for students to enjoy and gain practical experience on the topics they are learning about. Students visit with local government officials, EU representatives, cultural and social organisations.
