About Program
BRUSSELS | PARIS | STRASBOURG
IFE’s French Field Study and Internship programs are built around in-depth field experience and guided research, for which students prepare through classroom instruction and intercultural training.
These French-language programs are centered on a full-time internship or research placement as the means for linguistic immersion, cross-cultural learning, and a comparative grasp of a student’s own field. These goals are reached though a multi-faceted 18-week academic semester.
+ An intense five weeks of courses devoted to the political history, sociology and cultural foundations of Belgian or French society, to prepare students for working in Belgium or France.
+ A three-month full-time internship related to each student’s studies and goals
+ Guided field research on a topic important to the student’s host organization
+ A weekly seminar on the key moments in European history for understanding European integration
