Internship & Minor & Exchange

During the first semester of the second year, you will have the opportunity to choose between doing an internship, going away on Erasmus or doing a minor.

There are a lot of options for doing a minor, both at THUAS or at a different university of applied sciences. You can focus on topis like photography, game design, or launching a start-up. These options can help you shape your studies.

At the university

 If you’re academically inclined, you may want to follow a master’s after graduating from UXD. Because of UXD’s specific programme, there are as yet no master’s at THUAS that appropriately complement the UXD bachelor. However, our neighbours at the Delft University of Technology offer an interesting alternative, Human Technology Interaction. This master is focused on design. You could also apply for the Creative Intelligence & Technology Master at Leiden University.  
 


Outside the Netherlands, UXD students can follow a master’s straight after graduation. You should note that some universities in the Netherlands require you to follow a pre-master’s course after graduating from THUAS.
