Internships abroad
Incidentally, MSc Molecular Medicine students are allowed to conduct their 2nd year research project in a research lab abroad. This is only possible on the conditions that collaborations already exist between the involved research groups, and that our requirements regarding course work, supervision, and assessment are met.
The Erasmus MC offers internships on a wide variety of topics. Students may consider internships at institutes outside the Erasmus MC or even abroad. To ensure optimal guidance and training for the student as well as participation of the student in the 2nd year course Writing a Project Proposal, a few additional requirements apply to these “extra-Erasmus MC” internships, in particular to those in institutes abroad. Excellence of the candidate and the hosting institute are major factors for support from the Molecular Medicine MSc program. In addition, the internship requires a mentor from within the Erasmus MC and should preferably be part of a collaboration with an Erasmus MC research group.
Contact the program director or the year 2 coordinators (Dr. Gert Jansen and Dr. Gerben Schaaf) in time to discuss your plans and for more information.
An internship abroad can only be arranged and carried out in full agreement with the involved MSc faculty members: the lab supervisor, the course director(s), and the program director.
