Informatie voor organisaties

Doing an internship and/or graduation project at an organization is part of most of our study programs. We stimulate our students to gain experience in a company setting. Our students can add value to a variety of organizations, both Dutch and international.  

Are you interested in working with TU/e students at your organization? On this page you can find more information. We are always open to new ways to collaborate. Feel free to contact us. 

Do you have an exciting topic or challenge that could use some extra attention or an opportunity for work experience at your organization? It might be interesting for you to engage one of our students as an intern. 

• At TU/e, mostly master level students do internships. They can do this in the frame of their graduation project, but internships (sometimes part of the elective space) are also common. In some departments, Bachelor level students also have the possibility to do an internship. These will mostly be third year bachelor's students.  
• Mostly, there is no fixed starting or end date for internships for our students. For some study programs, students have set starting moments in September and February.  
• It is important that our students can work on high level projects and gain relevant experience related to their studies. They should not just be asked to perform whatever tasks are urgent at the moment. 
• Coaching and daily supervision are key as it will be your responsibility to provide students with the necessary guidance.  
• Your organization will be asked to be part of the assessment of the student in some way, usually in an advisory role.  
• Some departments have further guidelines, please see below for more information.

Programs have their own contact person regarding internships and graduation projects. If you are interested in students from a specific department, you can reach out via these contacts: 
 

If you want the TU/e student to sign a contract during the internship or graduation project, we ask you to use one of the following contracts: 

• For internships and graduation projects, TU/e's own Workplace agreement is used, both inside and outside of the Netherlands. Alternatively, the UNL internship agreement may be used.  
• For non-EEA students doing an internship or graduation project, you may need a NUFFIC agreement. 

For internships and graduation projects at the following organizations the framework agreement that TU/e closed with this organization is used: 

• ASML
• Vanderlande 
• Lely Holding 
• TU/e students from non-EEA countries annex the framework agreement with a UNL internship agreement or NUFFIC agreement.
