Internship
In order to be well prepared for the job market, you can opt to do an internship during your bachelor's programme. It's up to you whether you become an intern in the Netherlands or abroad, but the internship needs to be academic.
Why?
During your bachelor's in Cultural Anthropology you learn how to think critically, which is very useful during the design, implementation and analysis of research. An internship is a great way to translate these skills from an academic to a professional field.
Anthropology is a scientific programme, but during your studies you will find out how to apply anthropological knowledge and skills in very many different organizations and diverse functions. Anthropologists do work in very different sectors.
There is a maximum of 20 ECTS for your internship within the Bachelor's program CADS. Find here more information on how to arrange your internship.
