Field Study in BRUSSELS

The capital of Europe, with a culture all its own

Please note: IFE has had to suspend The Brussels field study and internship program indefinitely, due to the increased difficulty in obtaining a Belgian student visa in a timely manner.


The Brussels Field Study and Internship program takes place in both the fall and spring, over the course of an 18 week semester. The semester begins with 5 weeks of intensive interdisciplinary courses, followed by a 12-week full time internship in the student’s field. As part of the internship, students conduct field research, delving into an issue and producing a 30-page independent study.
