FAQ

Start with reading the introduction to internship procedure, followed by registration in Mobility Online and continue with the more extended description in the Blackboard site for Internship. 

Yes, you have! Without registration in Mobility Online, and having followed the so-called workflow up untill the end, your mark will not be registered in Osiris.

Most of you realise that there are indeed people in the Back Office, and not only software. Some of you, however, do not realise this. Note that while software might work 24/7, staff members do not. So it depends on how busy it is and what needs to be done in the back office in order to process a particular step. Sometimes a step can be dealt with within the hour, sometimes it takes two weeks. Especially in summer periods, when staff members are on holiday, it will take more time for steps to be processed.

If you have a particular question regarding one of the steps before the answering of the so-called 'Scholarship question', you can contact the Internship Officer by email (Internship-ME@ctw.utwente.nl). 

After you've answered this so-called 'Scholarship question', the steps are dealt with by the people in International Office / Scholarship Office. Any questions regarding those steps should be addressed to studyabroad@utwente.nl. 

In the 'after mobility phase' of your internship (once you're back home) the steps in your workflow are partly dealt with by the Internship Office and partly by the Scholarship Office.

No, your internship should be in either Mechanical Engineering or in Sustainable Energy Technology (depending on your programme). If you've chosen e.g. applied mechanics as your specialisation, you can do an internship in thermal engineering. However, some graduation professors are more strict, so do discuss the topic with your graduation professor.

Probably not, but the access to the Blackboard site is not automatically, but semi-automatically. The Internship Officer will have to add you manually to the Blackboard site. And while Mobility Online is open 24/7, the Internship Support Officer is not.

Have you followed the instruction according to the procedure described on Blackboard : Menu: Procedure ... --> Preparation of the internship --> Checklist item 2: Description and approval of internship assignment --> How to communicate approval of your internship assignment.  ?
If the answer is 'yes', then:
Has your UT supervisor approved your Proposal and forwarded your approved Proposal form to Internship-ME@ctw.utwente.nl as described on Blackboard (see above) ?
If the answer is 'yes', then:
Either the Internship Officer hasn't had the time to process the approval or it might be that you do not fulfill the academic requirement yet, as described in Blackboard : Menu: Procedure ... --> Preparation of the internship --> Requirements, objectives and other important information --> Academic standard - minimal requirements. If you need to have your Proposal form approved, for instance because you need to continue with the Scholarship application, please contact the Internship Officer by email (Internship-ME@ctw.utwente.nl).

In the information leaflet which you can use when you are applying to an internship provider, which can be found in the Blackboard site in Menu: Course materials --> Documents to be used when you apply at a company or apply for a visa --> Information regarding the internship, meant for potential employer, there is also a section regarding confidentiality.

Note that in the assessment form which will be sent to your external supervisor a question is included regarding the confidentiality of the report. 

While, for reasons explained in the Blackboard site, we prefer to have all internship reports archived (whether they are confidential or public), there is an option if the company has serious objections against archiving. Please see on Blackboard the section Menu: Procedure ... --> Finishing the internship --> Checklist items to be handed in the 'Note 2' under the item about the report, about what to hand in as an alternative to the report.
