Internship applies theory to practice
An internship forms a unique and important element of the Netspar master’s program Economics and Finance of Aging. Students write their master’s thesis based on an internship with a Dutch institution with active intermediation by Netspar. During your internship you get a good insight in the practical side of the pension business and you receive useful feedback on your progress. Students of other MSc programs are also invited to apply for one of the topics below.
