Student exchanges
For a limited number of students, internships abroad are possible within the framework of the ‘International Master in Cell and Stem Cell Biology’, our collaborative agreement with the Universitat de Barcelona, Spain, and the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC) in Paris, France. Recently, we added an agreement with the Friedrich Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany.
A typical student exchange will take the form of a six-month research project. When performing a research project in Paris or Barcelona, students will receive supervision and guidance in accordance with the requirements in Rotterdam. The MSc Thesis will always have to be defended in Rotterdam. More information on the exchange possibilities in Barcelona can be found here and here.
When visiting Rotterdam, exchange students from Barcelona and Paris will be able to perform a six-month research project, with optional additional courses.
Incidentally, students are allowed to conduct one of their research projects in a research lab abroad (other than the labs at UPMC or the University of Barcelona). This can only happen on the conditions that collaborations already exist between the involved research groups, and that our requirements regarding course work, supervision, and assessment are met.
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.
