CIVICA European Week

To be able to attend the European week, you need to have been selected for the CIVICA Engage Track. Although this programme is open to all Undergraduates, we mostly advise first and second year students to apply as this gives you more time to complete all the components.

If you are a third year student that happens to already have taken an Engage Course, then you would be eligible to apply but your second component would HAVE to be European Week, rather than studying abroad for a year. You will also be required to submit your showcase assignment after European Week and before you graduate which means doing it over the Summer.

There is a limited number of places available on the engage track and we therefore expect applicants and selected students to have checked that they are eligible and free to join all the components of the track. 

If you cannot or won't take part in an engage track course at a partner univerity (as part of your year abroad), you will need to attend the European week wherever it is hosted.

If you have any other specific queries, contact Emily Harrison here.

-         Applications usually open around October for two weeks.

-         You will usually be notified about whether you have been successfully accepted on to the Engage Track Programme a couple of week after the applications close (Usually around the beginning of December).

-         If you specify a preference for your second component being a study abroad year in your application, you will need to complete an additional application for with GO LSE with your options. This will be emailed to you with full details of deadlines. You will usually find out about whether you have successfully secured a year abroad place in January/ February time.

If you do not complete the final showcase assignment, you may be required to reimburse the cost of sending you to European week or your study abroad year.

 Yes, you do need approval.
