Study programme Bachelor's Physics and Astronomy year 3
In the third year, there is a lot of freedom to choose courses that align with your interests. You complete your studies with a Bachelor's internship at a research department in the Netherlands or abroad. Here you have the opportunity to be a part of cutting edge research and experience what it's like to work on an unsolved problem.

In the second and third year of Physics and Astronomy, there is a total of 39 EC of elective space. Of this, you must choose at least 9 EC from the list of competency-oriented courses (see year 2). Additionally, you choose at least 9 EC in year 3 of physics elective courses from the above list.
Your free elective space can also be filled with a minor (found in the minor guide). For example, you can choose the Educational minor of half a year (30 EC), including an internship in education. The programme for this minor can be found at the bottom of this page. In combination with your Bachelor's degree, you obtain a limited second-degree teaching qualification for secondary education. It is also good preparation if you want to pursue the educational Master's programme; the educational minor gives you exemption for the first half of this Master's programme.

An internship offers you the opportunity to gain valuable practical experience, expand your professional network and gain a clearer insight into your own skills and interests. It bridges the gap between studying and working and serves as an excellent springboard to your future career.
Within this programme, an internship is a mandatory component. Curious about the possibilities? Contact the student advisor.
