Internship BME

The internship BME (course code 19364099) is a compulsory part of both Masters’ tracks (except HBO continuators). The internship covers minimally 10 weeks (15 EC) during which the student is posted at a biomedical company, institution of health care, research institute or university. The learning goal of the internship is tp gain experience in the future working field by performing a relevant assignment at an external organization.

An assessment whether the planned project is of sufficient quality has to be performed by an academic supervisor. During the assignment, gained knowledge and skills at the study programme can be applied in an actual working environment. We believe a stay abroad is a valuable component of the study, therefore we recommend an internship abroad.

International students should also contact Rik Akse during the arrangement of the internship (h.a.akse@utwente.nl).

Application for the internship has to be submitted to the Student Mobility System.

Every year in an information session, the coordinator provides general information about the internship. Also, make sure you are authorized to visit the Blackboard site Internships TNW (under organizations). At this site, you’ll find information about experiences in the past, internship offers and all the necessary forms.

To start the process, please submit the the application form in SMS (Student Mobility System) which you can find in ‘my UT applications’. Deadline is three months prior to the start date of your internship.
