Course Contents The aim of the internship is to expose students to a real professional work environment outside the TU Delft for a period of at
least 12 consecutive weeks on a full-time basis at a company/research institute or at another university. The internship provides
the opportunity to get a glance of the technical, social, economic and organizational aspects of Aerospace Engineering and/or
related fields as a profession. It enables students to acquire professional skills different from those taught in the MSc programme.
During the internship the student is able to apply the academic skills and knowledge acquired during their BSc and the MSc
courses they have already followed. The student should aim for a project or tasks with clear deliverables of a sufficient academic
master level.
