Why should you do an internship?
An internship is a great way to gain practical experience with the benefit of giving you the full experience of what it’s like to work at the respective company. Ranging from 2 months to a full year, there’s bound to be an internship that suits your needs. The company will also get to know you; internships are a frequently taken route to a great starter position or traineeship!

 If you are a Msc Business Administration, Msc Finance or MSc Accountancy and Control student, you are able to do an internship worth 15 ECTS, once you have completed 45 ECTS of your programme. It is of course always possible for all Masters programmes to do an extra-curricular internship.

Thesis internship
Do you want to conduct your thesis research in a working business environment?
Then a thesis internship is something you can consider. This allows you to do research for your thesis in the company where you are completing your internship, in an area that the company would like to have researched. Thesis internships allow you time to do work similar to a regular internship, and some time to work on your thesis.

Benefits of an internship:

• Explore the world of work;
• Apply the theoretical knowledge you were taught during your programme;
• Develop professional skills and a working pattern;
• The opportunity to demonstrate your skills, improving your chances of a job after your studies;
• Build a professional network

Martha Gonzales- Campus recruiter Philips
”Being in a committee will support your development because this is business, you need to research, present proposals, contact different vendors and company representatives. With all these tasks, you will be able to grow as a young professional, working on your negotiation and communication skills, but also getting to know how you would approach the business world in the near future.”
