Young Ambassadors for Europe
Congratulations and well done to our 5th Year students who recently received their certificates as Junior Ambassadors for Europe on completion of the EPAS programme in Transition Year . They can be justly proud of this award and can continue to build on this European dimension of their education in the years ahead . Europe offers a wide range of exciting prospects for our young people in terms of funded mobility opportunities for study , job training and internships in European institutions .
We welcome our two new classes of TY students who have registered for the EPAS programme this year . We wish them an interesting and rewarding journey through their study of European affairs .
