The Geomatics in Practice Elective provides an opportunity to apply knowledge and skills obtained in the first year of the MSc Geomatics for the Built Environment in practice. The Internship must have an academic character.
There is no formal start date or end date, you can start any time provided you have completed at least 30 ECTS of the programme core subjects.
Individual work: Internship Report (max 5,000 words) according to the template provided and professional skills to be assessed by workplace supervisor.
The internship should last at least 280 hours, i.e., seven weeks on a full-time basis, or an equivalent period on a part-time basis, e.g., 14 weeks 20 hours/week.
The final delivery is an Internship Report. The requirements of this report can be found in this file The report will be assesed by your Geomatics Supervisor. This is 70% of the mark. The other 30% of the mark is an assessment by your Workplace Supervisor on professional skills. Both marks should be above 5.0. Otherwise a retake is needed.
The report must be sent by mail to the GEO5016 coordinator: Jantien Stoter (j.e.stoter@tudelft.nl).
The Geomatics Supervisor may be any person connected to the Geomatics programme with sufficient knowledge of the activities that you will do during your internship.
It needs to be submitted (max 800 words) according to the provided template.
The Internship Proposal form can be sent by mail to the GEO5016 coordinator Jantien Stoter (j.e.stoter@tudelft.nl).
The GEO5016 Coordinator will assess your Internship Proposal for suitability for the Geomatics programme. A GO will be granted when the internship Coordinator is satisfied that the proposed topic and activities are suitable for the Geomatics Programme and at MSc level, i.e., there has to be an academic challenge. This means that you have to work towards tackling a problem, working with complex and heterogeneous geospatial data, or developing a model or something similar, either individually or as part of a team. So, just carrying out activities according to fixed protocols without a personal contribution is not sufficient. Without a GO, you are not allowed to start this internship.
Submit a UNL Internship Agreement, signed by you and your Workplace Supervisor, to J.vanOs@tudelft.nl with a CC to the GEO5016 Coordinator. The Internship Agreement form, in Dutch and English, can be downloaded from that website.
