Note: we currently only offer internships for native 🇳🇱 Dutch, 🇫🇷 French, 🇩🇪 German or 🇸🇪 Swedish speakers, please don't apply if you are not a native speaker of one of those languages!

We always have opportunities for internships at Springest. You'll find some of the involved circles and roles below. Our aim is always to hire interns that would consider working for us after their studies as well, because we invest a lot and expect a lot back from you. We therefore also prefer (near) full time interns, but it's definitely OK to combine it with your thesis research.
