Internship abroad
Orientation
You will have to find an internship position yourself. If you would like to do an internship abroad, start collecting information as early as possible. Applying for visa and residence permits (for instance for Canada, Australia or the United States) may take time. An early start is therefore worth the trouble.
How to find an internship?
The Faculty of Humanities does not have many internships positions abroad. Sometimes you will find Internship Vacancies on offer for Humanities students. You can look for internships through Google, your own network, online internship databases, your lecturers, your student association, organisations such as Integrand (Dutch private sector) and Aiesec (International internships) and on the Career Services internship database.
Traineeships
Students have found trainee positions in many places: with the United Nations in New York, with Dutch embassies, with an NGO in Central Asia, with companies in Switzerland and Italy etc.
