In addition to medical insurance, EUSA requires all interns to add a Civil Responsibility Insurance to cover any possible situations at the work-place.

Our International Educational Internships are adapted from our degree internships to the needs of our international students, accommodating to their academic requirements.

By learning to face problems, taking on responsibility and developing their own initiative, these students will enhance their full potential and employability options.
Emprésate 360º was conceived to accompany all EUSA students, national and international alike, in their formative process, evaluating their progress and assisting them in joining the job market.
