What we are looking for
Our summer programme runs from June until September included and within that period we offer a number of students a one-month internship. During this internship, we provide students with a temporary employment contract subject to special conditions applicable to students in Belgium.
Our summer schemes are open to law students at all universities. We are looking to recruit talented and articulate students with a strong interest in antitrust law. Excellent command of English is required. In selecting candidates, we are most interested in personal qualities, ambition and potential, but we also expect you to have an excellent academic record.
Students studying in Belgium should have completed their first year of masters.

To apply
Interested candidates should apply before the end of November, in the year prior to which they are seeking to participate in the summer programme.
Please upload your CV with picture, cover letter and official transcripts/scorecards for each year at law school.
