Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.

Engaging with MPs on behalf of organisation. Forming policy and lobbying at a regional, national and EU level.

Moved to Brussels in 2005 to find work using languages. I secured an intern-ship in the European Parliament working for a Lib Dem MEP. This was brilliant experience and although I didn't end up using languages after this it took me down the route of political work which I am still engaged in- now back home in Yorkshire.

I would recommend contacting MEPs to try to work in a political office in Brussels. This was a brilliant first job where I used languages and learnt a lot about the world of work and politics.

I did a module in EU studies at Sheffield which really helped me when looking for work in Brussels.
