What do the Court of Justice of the European Union, a business incubator in Paris, an American university, a sports psychology research group in Barcelona, and a foreign policy institute in Warsaw have in common? They are all places where participants of MCC's Fellowship Program can gain first-hand professional experience.
The program gives talented Hungarian students the opportunity to develop their knowledge in international environments, build professional networks, and gain practical experience across a wide range of fields.
In Luxembourg, students can join the work of judges’ chambers at the Court of Justice of the European Union, gaining insight into case analysis, judicial decision-making, and the development of European case law. In the United States, participants can pursue independent research on topics such as big data, public opinion, media, and political communication while becoming part of an American academic community.
The program also offers opportunities in psychology and sports science. In Barcelona, students can work alongside sports psychology researchers and explore how mental health is supported in elite sport, seeing first-hand how academic research translates into practice.
In Paris, students can develop their business, communication, and project management skills at a business incubator, contributing to international events and organizing their own initiatives. Meanwhile, in Warsaw, students can combine foreign policy research with strategic communications, working on topics ranging from Polish-Hungarian relations and Visegrad cooperation to broader geopolitical issues.
Across these different locations, students are active participants rather than observers. They conduct research, prepare analyses, give presentations, organize events, and create content while learning from experienced professionals and international colleagues.
The MCC Fellowship Program is therefore more than an opportunity to spend time abroad. From Luxembourg and Paris to Barcelona, Warsaw, and the United States, it enables students to gain professional confidence, international experience, and valuable connections, while bringing home knowledge and perspectives that can contribute to their future careers and their communities.
