Class Trips
ENILV’s various degree programs provide the opportunity for each class to organize a study tour abroad. Students take initiative to define the objectives of their trip, manage the fundraising , and get involved in projects related to their degree program. Whether professional, technical, cultural, usually a mix of all three, ENILV’s study tours offer a memorable learning experience to both full-time students and apprentices.

Europel
Each year, teams of students are selected to compete in the Sensory Analysis competition. Organized by the EUROPEL association founded by ENILV in 1992, about 60 students compete to become the best professional tasters of dairy products. The last edition of the contest was held at the University of Warmia in Poland and soon it will be our turn to host our friends from the four corners of Europe!
Professional training
Several groups of foreign professionals come to ENILV each year for technical training and to see our manufacturing units.

Working internships
ENILV’s vocational degree programs include a training period working in a company. This professional experience is vital to students’ career prospects at the end of their studies, even more so when students have practiced their skills abroad. Thanks to several regional scholarships and the Erasmus + program, both full-time students and apprentices in many of our degree programs can take advantage of the opportunity to work abroad during their studies at ENILV. We also host foreign students from our partner schools as interns at our manufacturing units. Contact us to know more about your possibilities for this unique learning experience.
