Social Work Students

Completing an internship or practicum in Europe

The NASW International Chapter occasionally receives calls from individuals who would like to begin or continue their education as a professional social worker.   The International Chapter of NASW does not have any agreements on file to provide oversight, sponsorship or supervision of students placed in overseas locations.

Students wishing to complete an overseas internship or practicum should contact individual agencies and negotiate a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the student, the educational institution and the agency providing oversight of the practicum or internship.

The military social work clinics overseas have occasionally provided supervision for masters level students, but they do not provide placements for bachelor’s level student.

The International Chapter of NASW invites students to join and participate in Chapter activities.  A student NASW Chapter membership is available at a reduced cost and offers the same membership benefits as other classes of membership.

Please feel free to contact our Chapter if you have any questions about becoming a member of our International Chapter.  A membership form and a change of chapter affiliation form are available on this website for those wishing to become a member of the International Chapter of NASW.
