INTERNSHIPS

Internships apply theory to practice

An internship constitutes a unique and important element of Netspar's human capital development. Students write their MSc thesis based on an internship at a Dutch institution. During their internship they obtain a good insight in the practical side of Netspar related subjects and receive useful feedback on their progress.
