Studying Abroad
Studying and working
Campus Europae will offer study-related working places in companies, administrations, hospitals and teaching institutions. Campus Europae calls these opportunities “Learning Employability Places” (LEP) to distinguish them from regular internships or working periods which are regulated differently by local labour laws, and for this reason students will not receive a salary as such from the companies. An average LEP will be organized based on an 12 to 16 hours weekly workload and throughout the whole of the stay abroad.
LEPs are useful:
- for those who are looking for study-related working experiences and aiming at enriching their curriculum vitae;
- to meet people and make professional contacts outside the university circles;
- to enhance linguistic competences;
- to enhance employability after graduation.
Students participating will be offered an intensive language course of four to six weeks at the host university before the beginning of the academic year.
The pilot phase of this programme will be launched for two academic years from 2012 to 2014, offering every year to 20 student the opportunity to get a LEP and benefit from a monthly grant provided by Campus Europae. Interested students should contact their local CE Coordinator as soon as possible (until the end of April of each year) and prepare a small portfolio with their CV, areas of expertise and relevant past experiences that will be sent to their host destination in order to try to locate a suitable LEP. The confirmation of availability will be communicated until June.
