Welcome to the internship page of the Faculty ITC
In the second year of the Master’s Programme Spatial Engineering and the Master’s Programme Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation, students will complete an internship to gain experience in the professional work field. The objective of the internship is to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during their Master of Science Programme at the faculty ITC and gain experience in the future work field. An internship is one of the best ways to shape their professional profile.
The actual up-to-date description, together with the learning outcomes of the internship, can be found in the Study Guide for M-GEO and the Study Guide for M-SE. Please contact the ITC internship coordinator for further information about the procedure and requirements.
The internship may be carried out within consultant companies, government agencies, research institutes, NGOs or intergovernmental organizations in the Netherlands or abroad. The student will be able to apply for an internship topic based on interests, preferences, knowledge and skills. The search and orientation for an internship should start at least six months prior to the desired start date. Please take into account that if the internship takes place outside The Netherlands extra time is required for arrangements, such as applying for accommodation, visa and other formalities. Judgement of whether the foreseen internship project is of sufficient academic quality has to be performed by an academic supervisor who is a staff member of the faculty ITC.
