Location Overview:
Paris is a city with a palpable reputation. You may expect the smell of fresh bread in the air as you sip your espresso at a table outside one of the city’s many cafes, followed by a walk along the Seine and an afternoon at a world-renowned museum. The Parisian love of food and drink with pedestrian-friendly passages and a seemingly limitless level of appreciation for the arts is still very true, but modernism and globalism have been permeating the city for quite some time as well.
While Paris is the birthplace of haute cuisine and haute couture, Paris is also an approachable city with more than just a bustling tourism hub. The city is very attractive for businesses and financial institutions as well as healthcare and tech of all kinds. With a great metro and very walkable areas, Paris is becoming even more sustainable and accessible as it tries to bridge the gap between the inner city and the outer suburbs. There are many reasons to discover why Paris is called The City of Lights.
What is GlobalWorks?
GlobalWorks internships are personalized internship programs that bring you out of the country, and into the workplace. We connect academic study with real-world experiences by providing full-time international internship opportunities to UO students in various career fields. Working with local professional internship providers in locations around the world, we provide individualized placements for UO students. Students earn UO credits and life-changing work experience in a different culture. Immerse yourself in a new city, earn UO course credits, and gain professional experience with a GlobalWorks internship.
Location Note:
Programs in select GlobalWorks locations such as this one have a rolling admission application process. Due to a high volume of applications and potentially limited spaces, GEO staff will complete a review of the application materials of complete applications in the order that they are submitted (“first come, first serve”). Students are encouraged to identify alternate locations that they would feel comfortable interning in, or note if you are only interested in interning at this site. There are some programs that fill fast, some even before the deadline. Students are encouraged to complete applications and commit to programs early. A waitlist will be created, but students should be aware that being on the waitlist does not guarantee acceptance into a location.
