Workshops in professional development
The Department of European Political and Governance Studies features workshops in professional development, which are intensive 8-hour seminars on highly topical subject matters taught by practitioners and academics from Brussels and beyond.
The workshops aim to contribute to the students’ insertion into the job market, namely by:
- offering concrete perspectives on the European affairs job market and on how students can best present their candidature;
- providing additional insights on the main challenges, policies or institutions in different sectors of employment;
- building on the EU knowledge with some additional insights on work specificities, as well as on the politics of the European institutions.

There is no limit to the number of workshops that a student can follow. However, some workshop are open only to a limited number of participants, selected on a first-come-first-served basis.
My experience in the department not only deepened my knowledge of EU policies but through professionalising courses, workshops and the simulation game, it also prepared me for working in EU institutions, public affairs consultancies, or other fields. - Veronika Vargová (Chopin promotion)
