Internship organisation
Your internship organization and the issues it tackles should be relevant to the focus of your Master’s programme. This will need to be approved by the internship coordinator. You have the option to choose internship organizations both within and outside the Netherlands. We have an extensive network of partners, especially in Developing Countries, but you are also welcome to bring in your own connections.
Applications
Applications for internships are submitted during block 1. In block 2, students prepare for their internships under the supervision of the lecturer from the course responsible for internships. The internship itself takes place during periods 3 and 4.
Blackboard database
The online Youth, Education and Society database on Blackboard is available for students who wish to explore internship options. Students apply for an internship placement in one of the three tracks. More information can be found in the course manual of the Internship at the Blackboard community.
