Stay abroad

In recent years, quite a few students have carried out their research projects or short research internships abroad in countries such as; the USA, Italy, and Switserland. Contact between you and the foreign group is usually facilitated by a staff member; ask your supervisor, tutor or other scientific members of staff about internship opportunities in their international research network. Sometimes, the initiative for an international adventure lies fully with the student.

General information about Studying Abroad

Go abroad to follow courses or for a research project or internship

If you want to go abroad to follow courses we call this ‘stay’. A bilateral agreement is needed between the university of your choice and Utrecht University or the Science faculty. If you want to do a research project or internship it is called ‘traineeship'.  For a traineeship a bilateral agreement is not necessary. Please note that the application procedures for stay and traineeship are different.
