This internship has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I never expected to get it, and it’s allowed me to see the relevance of what I learnt in class in practice. The most valuable aspect has been the opportunity to network with experienced language professionals and receive useful feedback and advice.

It’s also paved the way towards an internship at the European Central Bank, starting this October!
