Internship abroad

An internship abroad benefits both bachelor's and master's students in multiple ways along with building a strong profile for future employment opportunities. It inculcates important skills such as:

  • International experience
  • Intercultural competence
  • Practical experience
  • Career orientation
  • Contacts with employers
  • Application of (language) knowledge in practice

In addition, the international coordinator is available for consultation.
