Master Thesis & Research Internship Research internship (Computing Science only, NWI-IMC047) -15 EC, ie. half a semester - In first half of second year -Getting hands-on experience doing research in collaboration with researchers at ICIS, or at external company -Without having to write it up Master thesis -In the last semester -Doing a research project & writing this up in a Master thesis -Projects can be done internally or externally –Eg externally at Spacemetric / ATOS / SURFnet / Philips / SocialSensr / Fontaneda / DNV- KEMA / KPMG / Fox IT / NCSC/ Pinguin Pim / Ortec / Alliander / 4VAlue / Provincie Gelderland / ASML / Home delivery / APG / Cito / Capgemini / Maastro / B-Wise / First8 / OCE / ESI / Sigmax / Logica / Integrand / Enviu / RAI / NXP/ ISV World / XEL Media / KeyGene / NL Net/.../...

Going abroad? Options to do this: 1.ICT in a different culture (studiereis) – 6EC course 2.Spending one semester/quarter abroad taking courses 3.Doing your Master thesis abroad Plan ahead if you want to go abroad! Coordinator Erasmus exchanges for ICIS: Janos Sarbo International Office at Science faculty: room HG Central International Office of the university

Going abroad for Master thesis? E.g. Bart van Delft went to Chalmers, in Gothenburg, Sweden for his MSc thesis....and stayed for a PhD
