The internship may be carried out within consultant companies, government agencies, research institutes, NGOs or intergovernmental organizations in the Netherlands or abroad. The student will be able to apply for an internship topic based on interests, preferences, knowledge and skills. The search and orientation for an internship should start at least six months prior to the desired start date. Please take into account that if the internship takes place outside The Netherlands extra time is required for arrangements, such as applying for accommodation, visa and other formalities. Judgement of whether the foreseen internship project is of sufficient academic quality has to be performed by an academic supervisor who is a staff member of the faculty ITC.
