Internship/Tailor-made course

The programme does not arrange an internship for you. You will have to find one yourself. You can search for one:

• in the Geosciences internship listings which offers internships in your academic discipline.
• in the Career Services internship listings which offers internships in different academic disciplines.
• by contacting suitable organisations that interest you.

When you have found a suitable internship, you have to contact a lecturer who is prepared to be your internship supervisor. Consult this lecturer on the content, the set-up and the supervision of your internship.

Consult with the programme leader of Global Sustainability Sciences to see if you can also do this internship within your study programme (curriculum). The programme leader checks whether the internship assignment and activities fit within your study programme. Never accept an internship without prior approval from your internship supervisor and the programme leader.

Tailor-made Course

When you have found a suitable internship to do for credits as a Tailor-made Course, you can approach a lecturer to discuss if they are prepared to be your internship supervisor. Consult this lecturer to further prepare the proposal of the Tailor-made Course.

The Tailor-made Course has the size of 7.5 EC and must meet the requirements as mentioned in the course description

Internship contract

An internship contract between the host institution and the university is mandatory if you take the internship for credit (as a Tailor-made course). Always let the education coordinators check it before you sign the contract. You can find the UU internship contract in the GSS community on BlackBoard . If the host institution requires a NDA you can use the NDA (to be found on BlackBoard)

If the internship is not done for credits (extra-curricular), UU is not a party and will not sign a contract.
