pRocedure - 'afterwards'

  • Send the following deliverables to internship-me@utwente.nl within one month after the end of your internship:

    • Report (also containing a reflection report)
    • Public abstract: ½ A4 of text. It will be placed on CANVAS where students searching for an internship position can read it.
    • Evaluation form student: Form can be downloaded here
    • Picture (.jpg) and a for laymen understandable piece of text (half A4): The text and picture (preferably in one Word document) should give an impression of the work you did during your internship describing how you experienced your internship (location, country, organisation). It cannot be longer than 130 words in length. Please write it in the third person and let it be checked by your external supervisor before you hand it in. Isaac Newton will create a booklet for prospective interns with this.

    You have to send the report yourself to the UT supervisor. Don't forget to send a copy to the company.

  • Did you hand in all your deliverables to the internship coordinator?
    Has your UT supervisor assessed your report/internship and handed in a mark sheet to the internship coordinator?
    Is the step 'Internship marked as finished' checked off?
    The mark sheet is probably at the Bureau of Educational Affairs ('BOZ') ready to be processed any minute.
