Internships and final-year projects
At the University of Twente, students are trained to become adaptable professionals who are ready for tomorrow’s job market. During internships and final-year projects, they apply their academic knowledge in practice and translate complex issues into concrete, well-founded solutions.
As an organisation at Kennispark Twente, you are warmly invited to involve students in innovative projects. UT students possess a solid foundation of expertise—ranging from technology, IT and data science to sustainability, healthcare, behavioural sciences and business. In addition, they bring strong analytical, research and collaboration skills that add immediate value to your organisation.
The University of Twente’s internship coordinators act as the link between the organisation, the student and the degree programme. They ensure that internship assignments align with the academic requirements and learning objectives of the programmes, so that both the student and the organisation derive maximum benefit from the collaboration. On the UT website, you will find all relevant internship information and all internship contacts for each degree programme.
