Your internship may be a mandatory part of your study programme or an elective course. Regardless of whether your programme involves a compulsory placement or an internship on an elective course, you can get help and practical tips on where and how to find an internship.
Find your internship
Doing an internship can give you valuable insight into the labour market, expand your network, and provide vital work experience in your chosen field.
Things to consider when applying for an internship
- The work tasks described in the internship vacancy should have a clear connection to your main subject.
