Deadlines

Please note: The sooner you apply, the more time you have to choose a project.

2. Application for the postgraduate programme

All incoming applications are assessed by an interuniversity committee. If your application has been accepted by the university, a selection interview will be organised to see if you are suited for the programme. During the interview, the main focus will be on: knowledge of the postgraduate, personal motivation, personal learning objectives and your interests.

We will also ask you to prepare a short assignment beforehand.

3. Search for an innovation project

After you've succesfully completed the university's selection procedure, your application will be provisionally approved.

At that moment, you will have to start looking for a project. You can:

use the internship database to search for one or more suitable innovation projects
propose an innovation project/interesting company yourself (we have built a large network over the years so we can definitely help you with this)

Because of the confidentiality of the submitted projects, you can only gain access to the internship database after your application has been provisionally approved.
