The IES Abroad European Union Program gives you the chance to study Politics, Economics, Business, and International Relations like you never have before. As the European Union continues to grow in size and influence, understanding it becomes key to understanding Europe and our world. This program features an integrative seminar that incorporates approximately 21 days of field study to travel to numerous countries inside and outside of the EU. Imagine visiting the European Parliament and discussing current social and political issues with EU officials, or meeting with leaders of multinational corporations to learn about international trade.
