Intership (20EC)
Finding an internship
- Start in time. Especially an internship abroad takes a lot of preparations (VISA, subsidies, fees, work license, etc.)
- The initiative for the internship lies with the student, but
- Your chair can often help with contact information for companies, research partners, assignments, etc.
- The EEMCS internship office can give you an overview of where previous students went and what kind of assignments they did

Combining the internship and the final project
You have the option to combine your internship and final project. If you want to do this, you will need to take the following into account:
- The combined Internship / Final project always takes place at a research company or university outside the UT.
- You need to write and hand in two separate reports. One for your internship, and one for your Final Project. They will be graded separately.
- You will need to register both the internship and final project separately (in Mobility Online and on the Final project form).
- The maximum duration of the Final project combined with the internship is 48 weeks.
