Professional Placements

The list below contains a sample overview of placement providers with which Euroculture students have undertaken their Professional Placement over the course of six recent Euroculture editions (specifically: 2016-18, 2017-19, 2018-20, 2019-21, 2020-22, and 2021-23).

This information is based on the most recent alumni survey, performed in 2025 on a total of 522 Euroculture alumni. Please note that this is not a complete overview of all placements pursued during this period. The below table breaks down not only the names of the placement providers, but also whether their placements were followed in the public or private domain, in what sector the placement took place, and in what country the placement took place.

A wide degree of diversity can be observed across all of these four columns. Students commonly find placements in Politics and International Relations (inside and outside the European Institutions), in Arts & Culture, in Social Affairs, and more. Placements have been pursued in well over thirty different countries, with hundreds of different institutions.
