Master Internship
Full course description
In the master elective semester, students have the opportunity to do an internship at a company or research institution.
The internship can be full-time (30 ECTS) or part-time (at least 10 ECTS). Please be aware that 1 ECTS is the equivalent of 28 working hours (which means a full-time internship involves 840 hours).
Internship vacancies can be found on Canvas and Intranet. In addition to the vacancies offered by DACS, students are also allowed to find something themselves. For each internship, an internship proposal must be send to the Board of Examiners for approval. This proposal must be checked, approved and signed by a DACS supervisor and a company supervisor before submitted to the Board of Examiners. After receiving the official approval of the Board of Examiners, the student is allowed to start.
See https://intranet.maastrichtuniversity.nl/en/dacs-students/my-studies/elective-semester/master-internship for the complete procedure and relevant forms. The guidelines for internships are included in the Rules and Regulations.

Prerequisites
You need to have obtained at least 40 ECTS of year 1 courses.
Only after you received the official approval by the Board of Examiners, you are allowed to start your internship (!). Never start before the approval; you are taking the risk that the internship might not be approved at all, and in that case, you will not receive study credits of the internship for the period prior to having obtained official approval.
