The bachelor programme students of the European University will have an opportunity to participate in a paid internship in Paris, Lyon, and Toulouse, France, as part of a memorandum of understanding signed between the European University and the IGS Group.

Natia Vepkhvadze, the International Relations Programme student at European University, has been selected for the IGS Group's Lyon branch. 

The European Commission reimburses travel expenses and the student will also receive a monthly scholarship in line with Erasmus+ standards during her stay in Lyon.

It should be noted the internship is a component of the curriculum of the European University international relations programme. Accordingly, the hours spent in Lyon will be translated into credits.  

The parties launched their partnership during the 2022-23 academic year as part of the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility Programme, with the first group of students spending a two-month paid internship in Lyon.
