ASML Internships (Netherlands & Global)

ASML’s internships and graduation assignments put students inside the company whose lithography machines make every advanced chip on earth possible, at its Veldhoven headquarters in the Netherlands and global sites. Interns receive a monthly allowance with housing and travel support while working on real projects in mechatronics, optics, software, data science and precision engineering, often doubling as their thesis.

Hundreds of student positions post continuously on the careers portal, with English as the working language. Enrollment conditions apply for Dutch placements, so students outside the EU should read each vacancy’s terms or target ASML sites in their own region.

• Bachelor's and master's students in physics, mechanical, electrical, mechatronics and software engineering, computer science, optics, chemistry, data science and industrial engineering.
• Enrollment at a university for the duration of the internship, since Dutch internships are tied to student status; non-EU students studying outside the Netherlands generally need enrollment at a Dutch institution or an EU exchange arrangement, so check each vacancy's conditions.
• Strong academic record and genuine interest in the machines behind every advanced chip.
• English is the working language; Dutch is not required.
• Availability for three to nine months for internships or graduation (thesis) assignments.
• Global student roles also appear at ASML's US and Asia sites with their own local conditions.
• Each vacancy specifies its exact requirements on the careers portal.

• Work on a defined project inside the company that builds the lithography machines enabling all advanced semiconductors, including the world's only EUV systems.
• Internships and graduation assignments span mechatronics, optics, precision mechanics, software, embedded systems, data science and manufacturing engineering.
• Join a multidisciplinary team in Veldhoven, one of Europe's densest engineering campuses, or at other sites.
• Run experiments, build models or ship code under an assigned company supervisor, often paired with your university thesis requirements.
• Present your results to the team and document them to ASML standards.
• Strong interns feed straight into ASML's graduate and direct-hire pipelines during a historic hiring expansion.

• Monthly internship allowance plus support with housing and travel costs for Netherlands-based interns.
• Thesis-friendly: graduation assignments are a formal track, ideal for master's students needing an industry thesis.
• Work at the single most critical company in the global chip supply chain, a brand that opens doors across deep tech.
• Veldhoven's Brainport region pairs naturally with studies at TU Eindhoven, Delft and Twente.
• Hundreds of student positions per year across disciplines, refreshed continuously.
• Clear conversion path into graduate roles as ASML expands globally.

• Browse student vacancies on the ASML careers site, filtering internships and graduation assignments by field and site.
• Check the enrollment condition in each vacancy, and if you study outside the EU, target roles at ASML's sites in your region or plan the internship within a Dutch exchange or degree.
• Apply online with your CV, motivation and expected internship window.
• Interviews assess technical depth in your discipline plus teamwork.
• Offers define your project, supervisor, allowance and housing support.
• Apply three to six months before your intended start, since projects are scoped to academic calendars.
