My experiences at the Centre for European Policy Studies, Brussels

After my Erasmus exchange at the University of Antwerp, I was inspired by my classmates to seek an internship in Brussels, the EU’s headquarters. Although I had always envisioned a career in research, I recently decided to explore opportunities beyond academia, particularly in spaces where research intersects with practical policymaking. That’s when think tanks caught my attention—they offer a unique environment where project-led, evidence-based policy recommendations are developed, bridging the gap between academia and consulting.

Internship in Msida, Malta

When I was finishing my study abroad Erasmus semester in Athens, I knew I wasn’t ready to go back to cold Germany just yet, and I still had to complete the 30 ABV credits, so I decided to look for an internship abroad. I stumbled upon an internship in science communication in Malta, and applied, thinking I would not get in because of my lack of a STEM background. I was impressed with the description, noting that they were working on two projects related to urban planning, which I was planning to study as my Master’s.

My Stay in Uppsala

My time in Uppsala has been incredibly pleasant and rewarding. I arrived in July, at a time when most of the students and residents of the city were away on their summer holidays. The city initially felt quite empty, which was a bit odd at first. However, this gave me a unique opportunity to experience Uppsala from a different perspective—quieter and more serene.

Veterinary Internship in Canada

Ever since I started studying veterinary medicine at the Freie Universität Berlin, I have felt a strong interest in wildlife. In my second year, I began working in the wildlife department of the small animal clinic at my vet school. There, I treated various species of wild birds commonly found in German cities and suburban areas, as well as hedgehogs and occasionally bats. I loved working with these animals and knew I wanted to incorporate wildlife rehabilitation into my fourth-year internships.

Internship at the cardiology department in Montpellier, France

I spent 16 weeks in the cardiology department of the university hospital (CHU) in Montpellier in the context of the sixth and last year of my medical studies in Berlin. In Germany this last year is organized as a practical training called “Praktisches Jahr” and is seen as a transition phase between the role of a student and that of a medical doctor.
