ASCoR research project
6 ECTS
![Page 12: Welcome to the Research - student.uva.nl · Choosing a programme Special needs/disability Personal problems Complaints/exemptions Trust issues Career advice How to reach us? - Appointments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042315/5f0412087e708231d40c2c1a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Research internship
Gain experience with the actual conduct of a communication
science research project
Replaces a maximum of 12 ECTS worth of methods courses
Research internships can take place in two types of
organizations:
Academic research institutions, located at ASCoR or a
Dutch or foreign university
Professional research organizations in the Netherlands or
abroad
![Page 13: Welcome to the Research - student.uva.nl · Choosing a programme Special needs/disability Personal problems Complaints/exemptions Trust issues Career advice How to reach us? - Appointments](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042315/5f0412087e708231d40c2c1a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
So how does it work?
It’s up to you to find an ASCoR participation and/or
Research internship
Start looking well in advance (we suggest 2 - 3 months)
Don’t approach five researchers at once, focus on one at a
time

Research internship outside of ASCoR?
Make sure that your internship
supervisor is a (senior)
researcher
Research must be your main task
(with data collection taking up no
more than 1/3 of your time)
Tip: make your own proposal,
don’t apply for existing internships
