Job Description

Are you a master's student eager to contribute to strategic innovation and digital transformation in healthcare? At Accenture Netherlands, you'll work on a wide variety of challenges in the health sector; from developing digitalization strategies and improving care processes and services, to analyzing emerging technologies and guiding organizational change. Experienced consultants will coach you in conducting analyses, structuring complex problems, and translating insights into concrete, actionable recommendations for our clients. Your primary focus will be on healthcare, but as part of the broader Health & Public Services (HPS) team, you'll also gain exposure to public sector projects, broadening your perspective on strategic transformation across both domains.

Duration: 4 to 6 months, starting in February or March.

What You'll Do

As an intern, you'll work alongside consultants on projects for healthcare organizations such as (academic) hospitals, the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, health insurers, and other care institutions. You'll explore how care delivery can be made faster and more accessible, how processes can be redesigned more efficiently, or how digital technology can be applied responsibly. You'll learn to develop and substantiate strategies through structured analysis. Your contributions may lead to reduced costs, shorter throughput times, improved digital care services, or more efficient processes for our clients.

What To Expect

Working internship: You'll have the opportunity to shape your own experience and explore your personal interests. You'll contribute to various projects including business analyses, stakeholder and market analyses, support in developing business proposals, and research into client systems and functionalities. You are encouraged to bring your own ideas and initiatives, so you can challenge yourself and get the most out of your internship. Thesis internship: It is also possible — in consultation with your supervisor — to combine your internship with writing your thesis. You are encouraged to choose a topic that aligns with your studies and adds value to one of our clients. You'll receive all the guidance and resources needed to complete your thesis while continuing to contribute to the HPS team.

How We Reinvent

This internship sits within our Industry & Enterprise Strategy practice, where we combine deep sector expertise with advanced technology to deliver 360° value for our clients. You'll be part of a multidisciplinary team working on the future of intelligent health services, leveraging our global network, platforms, and partnerships to bring ideas to life.

What We're Looking For

• Education: Currently enrolled in a master's program at a Dutch university for the full duration of the internship. Preferred fields of study include Healthcare/Life Sciences, Public or Business Administration, Health Policy & Management, or closely related disciplines.
• Skills: Affinity with healthcare and/or the public sector; you actively follow the latest developments in technology and health policy.
• Mindset: Ambitious and proactive, naturally critical and analytical, a strong communicator, and a team player.
• Bonus points: Involvement in extracurricular activities such as student organizations, Defensity College, Society College, De Kleine Consultant, etc.
• Location: Amsterdam
• Languages: Fluent Dutch and English required

What We Offer

• Learning opportunities: Access to our Learning & Development Platform.
• Guidance: Support from a dedicated internship supervisor (People Lead) and a buddy.
• Culture & Community: You'll be part of an open culture that actively encourages you to get the most out of your internship. Through close guidance and support, you'll quickly find your footing within both HPS and Accenture NL. Your week will offer a balanced mix of personal development and informal interaction with colleagues at all levels. The more proactive and assertive you are, the more you'll take away from your internship.
• Extras: Competitive internship allowance and travel expense reimbursement.
• Inclusion, Diversity & Social Impact: Do Good Volunteer Program, I&D Networks, Refugee Talent Track.
