Field & Study Trips
Each year students on the programme are encouraged to take part in a field trip to a European Institution. In the last two years students have visited the European Parliament in Strasbourg (February 2005) and the European Parliament in Brussels (February 2006).
The trips offer students the chance to meet and talk with MEPs and/or other individuals working for the European Union. In addition to providing students with an important insight into the way the institutions of the EU operate, the field trips also provide an opportunity for students to experience the atmosphere and social life of another European city.

On 18 October 2006, first and second year European Studies students went on a field trip to the Dáil and Seanad, where they heard a number of interesting debates, and went on a tour of the buildings. The visit was kindly sponsored by Ms Liz O’Donnell, TD, Deputy Leader of the Progressive Democrats.
