Graduation & internships

At Wetsus we have a number of internships positions available every month for MSc and BSc students. The content for an internship at Wetsus is depending on your study discipline. (chemistry, physics, microbiology, etc.) An internship at Wetsus contains working and assisting a PhD student on their project. An internship at Wetsus has many advantages:

• Excellent career possibilities after graduation through the extensive network of businesses and academic institutions associated with Wetsus
• Have a great insight in working at an institute on sustainable water technology
• Working in a multidisciplinary environment
• Leeuwarden is a fantastic city (with 17,000 students) to study in. Another advantage - there's no shortage of accommodation in Leeuwarden.
