Internship

An internship offers you the opportunity to gain valuable practical experience, expand your professional network, and get a clearer understanding of your own skills and interests. It bridges the gap between studying and working and serves as an excellent springboard for your future career.  

Within this programme, an internship is not a fixed component, but it is an option to make productive use of study delays or to gain extra experience. Students from this programme have previously secured successful internships at organisations such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the municipality of Nijmegen and several Dutch Ambassies.

Study abroad

The Master’s programme is planned to last one year – three blocks with courses, one block writing the thesis. Studying abroad is not an integrated option. However, if you plan to do so, get in contact with the International Office about opportunities. Such a study abroad is possible but will delay your study progress.
