During your first and second year of your Bachelor's, you can only do an extracurricular internship during the summer (June, July, August).

The curricular bachelor internship requires 336 hours, spread over a minimum of 10 weeks. It is possible to do an internship simultaneously with your minor, but this depends on the amount of hours you’ll spend on the internship and the number of hours you need for the minor.

Yes, that is possible, but you would have to compensate for the 3 electives that you would otherwise take at the UvA during that time period. This way, you might be delayed in your studies. To prevent this, you can do 1 or 2 extra courses in your second year, and/or take courses alongside your internship or thesis.

The internship possibilities for third-year international students are the same as for Dutch students. For non-EU/EEA students additional requirements apply to you when you wish to do an internship in the Netherlands.

Yes, this is possible. You will need an internship agreement signed by the company of your internship, the UvA and yourself. Please make sure that you meet the requirements of your study programme and the additional requirements for non-EU/EEA students.

For Non-EU/EEA students a work permit (called a ‘tewerkstellingvergunning’) is required. With this permit, you can either work full-time during the summer months (June, July, August), or you can work a maximum of 16 hours per week during the year. You cannot do both.
