THE NETHERLANDS – RSM, ROTTERDAM SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT, ERASMUS UNIVERSITY School support: At the start of the semester Career Services gives a presentation on its services. Incoming students have equal access to these services as the RSM students. Career Services post diverse internships on a daily basis. Students need to apply for their preferred internship by themselves. Contact: In general students can approach Career Services webpage here or contact us via e-mail: careerservices@rsm.nl,
Legislation: For EU citizens there are no restrictions. They only need to be registered at RSM.
Non-EEA citizens studying at RSM can also do an internship, but they need a filled in Internship Agreement, signed by the student, the company and the university (to see an example here). Normally this procedure should not pose any problems. Non-EEA citizens who are on an exchange at RSM will need a work permit for doing an internship in the Netherlands. The work permit procedure needs to be initiated by the company and since it takes time and money the student is dependent on the willingness of the company. Further information: In case of doubts or questions, please contact the national organisation Nuffic here.
Requested documents: Together with the Internship Agreement the student needs to submit a copy of his/her passport. (Documents related to staying in the Netherlands are part of the exchange procedure and are dealt with by the RSM International Office). Company support: There are fewer internships available that are suitable for non-Dutch speaking students. In the majority of cases the knowledge of the local language is either a must or a big advantage. In case the local language is not required foreign students are more than welcome to apply but their chances are equal to those of other applicants.
