Students can reach out to the ELGU team for help with day‑to‑day academic matters, administrative questions, and general support related to their program. Our staff is available to assist with course information, scheduling, documentation, and other practical needs that arise during the academic year.
In addition, students benefit from being part of the wider EPLO community, which offers access to events, lectures, and opportunities that complement the ELGU academic experience.
The ELGU Internship Program is designed for students and alumni of the School’s higher education programs. It serves as a bridge between the academic community of the ELGU and the wider EPLO system, helping participants apply their knowledge in practice and develop skills that support their transition from study to work.
Through the ELGU and EPLO network, students may access internship opportunities with a range of partner organizations, such as:
In line with each student’s academic program and career objectives, they work with the ELGU Internship Placement Coordinator to identify suitable options and make the most of their experience.
Through this program, the EPLO also offers internship opportunities for ELGU students and graduates at its premises in Sounion, Greece, where the ELGU is hosted, as well as potentially at other EPLO branches.
These internships are intended to complement the educational experience gained at ELGU with practical exposure, to familiarize students with the work of the EPLO (its structure, objectives and activities), and to support the development of their professional and leadership skills.
Beyond internships, ELGU encourages students to think proactively about their career paths. Depending on availability and resources, students may benefit from:

“The European Law and Governance University played a pivotal role in advancing my career goals, particularly in the area of digital regulation and EU law. Winning a scholarship to fund my studies was a significant step in pursuing my ambitions to graduate in the ELGU appealing environment, and the knowledge I gained through the program has directly contributed to my work as a researcher.”
“I think it’s okay to say I was quite nervous when I first started at the ELGU. Nervous about the course and nervous about making friends. What really put me at ease though was when I first arrived at the campus in Sounion was the fact that all the staff were very friendly, welcoming and supporting. All in all, I enjoy that our School is of a small size because it allows students to really get to know their lecturers. The School as a whole demonstrates a willingness to support and help us out along the way. If we take into account the fact that we are creating new Societies for students to participate in, I believe that it is an excellent place to study and I recommend it to anyone.”
“ELGU is an incredible University. I know this from first hand as I have graduated in July 2021 with a PhD in Law. During my PhD studies I had the opportunity to be taught and supervised by distinguished professors and leading experts of the field and I was equipped with skills which were proven essential for the next steps of my career. Since October 2021, I am a Lecturer in International Economic Law and Human Rights at the Department of History, Politics and International Studies at Neapolis University Pafos. The international presence of the ELGU, the research foundations that it provides, and its lively academic community make it a perfect environment not only for research studies but for everyone who wants to extend their knowledge foundations and develop their career.”
“Hi my name is Sarra Ajroud, I’m a 21 years old student from Tunisia. I am currently enrolled in the MA in Governance program within the ELGU. Before coming here I did my BA in public law but deep down I’ve always wanted to continue my studies in Political Sciences, that is why I chose the MA in Governance program. Studying within the ELGU is a great experience, the courses are very effective, the professors are very helpful and I have learned and gained so much knowledge from the very start. On the plus side, living in Athens is a far greater experience. I think it’s an amazing city for students as you get to unravel both the ancient Greece culture and the Modern European lifestyle.”
“I chose the master’s in governance at ELGU for its strong focus on policymaking, international relations, and strategic governance. Given my background in social work, this program bridges theory and practice, equipping me with the skills to shape policies that have a meaningful impact on communities globally. For prospective students aiming to design policies that will have a meaningful impact globally, ELGU is your Choice.”
“ELGU helped me achieve my career goals in an international environment by providing me with an internationally recognized degree that strengthened my academic and professional profile. I always aspired to pursue a PhD at Sant’Anna University and to work for an EU agency. Today, I am fulfilling both dreams—I am currently a PhD candidate in Human Rights, Global Politics, and Sustainability, and I work as a legal assistant at EFSA.”
“I am extremely grateful to the ELGU for having given me the opportunity to further specialize and develop my knowledge in the field of international affairs and, particularly, on India, which is perfectly in line with my academic specialization in South Asian studies. The post-graduate Master of Studies program I have pursued was completely tailor-made for me and this has been an invaluable experience.”
“The quest for knowledge might be a lifelong journey that leads our steps to remarkable destinations that make our dreams come true. ELGU is definitely a place that broadens the horizons of its students and provides them with the necessary tools of achieving their goals and quenching their thirst to learn. Studying in ELGU is an unforgettable experience due to the combination of high quality education and a marvelous atmosphere that promotes learning. What else to wish for?”
