Organize a work placement yourself
If you would like to do a work placement with us, we advise you to take the following steps:
Send a letter of application with your CV to our work placement coordinator at least 2-3 months before the start of the internship (see at left).
Clearly indicate in your letter what you are studying, which year of study you are currently in and which term the internship takes place.
After receiving your letter of application, the work placement coordinator will look for a suitable possibility. Three to four weeks later, Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health will contact you to let you know if we have a position for you. Should that be the case, and you are still interested, you will be invited for an interview. If both parties are happy with the outcome of the interview, the work placement contract can be formulated.
