For information about the process, please download the interactive pdf containing the internship process in a nutshell.

Aims

Several learning goals are addressed during the internship:

to get an overview of the professional world of your speciality
to get experience in applying for an (intern) position
to apply your knowledge and competencies in daily work conditions
to get work experience at aspirant engineer level outside the University of Twente, by preference in the industry in a foreign country
to gain experience in project implementation and report writing
to gain experience in the (international) engineering society

The key focus of the internship is learning, not work.

Canvas

The Canvas website EEMCS Internships contains an excel file with companies and institutes that have internships available. On top of that, you can find a large number of experience reports from students who have already completed their internship with one of these companies, and many more links and documents that could come in handy that cannot be found on this website.

Internship and graduation assignments that are available and sent to the internship coordinator by companies are published on this website as well.

Please feel free to enrol yourself by using this link.

Several systems are used during this whole process. If you have any troubles, look at these manuals for guidance.
