In the master’s program 20 EC are available for the external internship. During this internship you will be working on an individual project related to research. It is an introduction to and an exercise in participating to ongoing research. In most cases this internship is done prior to the graduation project. It is however possible to change the order after discussion with your mentor.

• The external internship is preferably done at a research institute or company with whom (research) contacts from BME exist.
• Always contact your mentor for the determination of the period, the subject and the location of your internship. Never arrange something on your own without consulting with your mentor.
• The execution and the assessment of the internship are the responsibility of your mentor.
• Get in contact with your mentor and/or internship supervisor for questions and practical issues.
