Internships
Cancer Center Amsterdam has no overview of available internships. Students who are looking for an internship are therefore advised to directly contact a Principal Investigator (PI) of a group or research theme who is researching a subject of their interest. You can find an overview of research themes and PI's on the research program pages on this website. You can also find the Research groups on the website where some PI’s will have their contact information listed.
Other options:
- Contact the department of interest directly.
- Visit the website of werkenbijVUmc or werkenbijAMC (in Dutch).
- Visit the website studentresearch.nl (in Dutch) for an overview of internships of different universities.
Internship Radiotherapy
At the Department of Radiotherapy, research and innovation are driven by a single purpose: improving the lives of patients facing cancer. Every day, our clinical and research teams work side by side to translate advanced technology into better, more personalized care.
Consider a patient with a locally advanced tumor that no longer responds to standard treatment. By combining MRI-guided radiotherapy with hyperthermia, our teams can visualize the tumor in real time, adapt treatment to daily anatomy, and enhance the effect of radiation, turning a limited option into a renewed chance for control and quality of life. These are not abstract concepts, but real clinical decisions made for real patients.
Our department is one of the largest in Europe and equipped with state-of-the-art hardware and software. The expertise spans CT-guided radiotherapy, MR-guided radiotherapy, brachytherapy, hyperthermia, clinical physics, and the development of artificial intelligence to support treatment planning and improve outcomes. Our research addresses a broad spectrum of diseases, including breast, gastrointestinal, liver, lung, neurological, pancreatic, sarcoma, and urological cancers, as well as cardiac radioablation. Close collaboration with other departments within Amsterdam UMC creates a vibrant academic environment where innovation rapidly reaches the clinic.
Bachelor and Master students are an integral part of this ecosystem. Internships and thesis projects take place within an active clinical research setting, where you will see how scientific questions arise directly from patient care, and how your work can contribute to better treatments tomorrow.
If you are interested in an internship or in completing your bachelor’s or master’s thesis within the Department of Radiotherapy, please contact us via RTHinternships@amsterdamumc.nl.
