During the internship (spanning the entire second year of the master, MBS2004), students participate in ongoing scientific research at UM, at other knowledge centres in the Netherlands, or in other countries . The internship project details will be worked out and a preparatory research proposal will be written during course MBS1005 at end of the first year of the master. As a practical, hands-on experience, it offers students a unique opportunity to gain experience in independently carrying out a research project, which they personally designed. The length of the training period ensures the acquisition of valuable, in-depth experience, necessary for students’ development into independent researchers. 

Students work individually and take part in ongoing research projects, supervised by a tutor or researcher. The internship period concludes with a final presentation (poster, MBS2204) to the other students as well as tutors and other experts. This presentation/defence will take place during the MOSA conference.

The posters are assessed by at least five independent researchers, and their averaged scores will be listed as a separate mark in addition to the thesis score. A pass on the poster is required for a pass on the internship.
