Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar (SFS-Q) secured a summer 2012 internship at the European Parliament in Brussels for one of its third-year students, Loukas Kyprianou. The outstanding Cypriot student was chosen for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, despite the fact that his age did not fulfill the minimum requirement for the internship at the European Parliament in Brussels. “They told me I was chosen because I was studying at a world-renown institution for political studies which is of great importance in a region,” Loukas said.
As part of the internship, Loukas worked with one of the highest-ranking members of the Cypriot delegation to the European People’s Party (EPP) Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Ioannis Kasoulides, who previously held the positions of Member of Cypriot Parliament, Government Spokesperson and Minister of Foreign Affairs. Through this experience, Loukas is now able to secure a job with the Cypriot embassy in Qatar.The Peninsula
