  • Work experience period (internship)

    The heart of the Master'’s programme Museum Studies is a six-month internship (30 ECTS). Your internship will be determined in accordance with the placements offered by the museums and the development path you wish to follow. At the museum, you will work together with professionals who will show you the tricks of the trade. You are fully responsible for the organisation of your internship and benefit from the great network the UvA Museum Studies Staff has in the Netherlands and abroad. Museums that frequently offer internships are:

    • Allard Pierson (University of Amsterdam’s Museum)
    • Amsterdam Museum
    • Jewish Museum in Amsterdam
    • H’Art Amsterdam
    • National Museum for World Cultures (Amsterdam and Leiden)
