Internships
UvA, AUAS (HvA), and Inholland students can come to USC for all kinds of practical and research internships. We are also happy to invite students from other higher educational and intermediate educational institutions. We offer sports-related internships, but you can also come to USC for a business economic, social, or psychological internship. After all, about 300 people work for USC and we accommodate over 20,000 members at 7 different locations. So, plenty to research!
Please note! For some internships it’s necessary that you speak and write Dutch fluently.
Internship opportunities
Student wellbeing
Student wellbeing is of great importance to educational institutions and to USC. Therefore, we do everything we can to make a positive contribution to this. An important research question could be:
- How can USC’s sports offer contribute to student wellbeing and better mental health?
Recruitment & retention
Without members, no USC. It is therefore important to recruit members and – once they are members – to retain them. Therefore, we are constantly asking ourselves: what makes USC attractive to come and workout? How can we increase our visibility? How can we attract more new members?
- Are you coming up with a strategy to improve recruitment and retention at USC?
Inclusiveness
USC wants to be a place where everyone feels welcome and valued. Will you help USC answer this question?
- How can USC ensure that all gender groups feel safe at the various USC facilities?
- How can USC ensure that participants from different backgrounds, cultures, and gender identities want to participate in our sports program?
Sports offer
- How will USC ensure that our sports offer continues to connect or starts to connect with Gen Z/our target audience?
- What trends do we see in the sports world, how can we implement them at USC, and how do we stay connected to the sports desires of future generations?
Community
At USC, we focus on bringing students from different programs and backgrounds together in a casual way. A possible research question could be:
- How can USC encourage meeting at USC sites?
Specific research internships
Economy & Business students beware!
Education is facing major budget cuts. USC is also going to be affected. Will you (alone or in a group) write the financial plan that will get USC through this turbulent time? Send us an e-mail!
Marketing
Do you want to help build a new USC website? Would you like to contribute to the development of the corporate identity? Reach out to us!
Climbing and bouldering department
An issue within the climbing and bouldering department is the reservation system. How do members feel about mandatory reservations? Is it annoying, or is it nice to know for sure that it’s not too busy and that there is room to work out.
Sports and fitness: practical internships
You can do your fitness internship at USC. Let us know what you like, what kind of sports you’re interested in, and why you want to do your internship at USC.
