Job Description

Are you a master's student with a passion for using technology to shape the future of healthcare?

At Accenture Netherlands, you'll discover how AI, data science, and large-scale digital transformation projects can deliver real, measurable value for healthcare organizations. Guided by experienced consultants, you'll develop practical skills that will serve you throughout your career. This internship challenges you to combine academic curiosity with an innovative mindset to drive meaningful change in one of society's most vital sectors.

Your primary focus will be on healthcare, but as part of the broader Health & Public Services (HPS) team at Accenture, you'll also gain exposure to public sector projects, giving you a well-rounded view of technology-driven transformation across both domains.

Duration: 4 to 9 months, starting in February or March.

What you'll do

As an intern, you'll work alongside dedicated consultants on real client projects, supporting healthcare organizations such as (academic) hospitals, health insurers, the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, and other care institutions. You'll help them become more innovative, agile, and future proof through the responsible application of technology.

You'll gain hands‑on experience with cutting‑edge technologies and contribute to projects with tangible outcomes such as cost savings, more efficient patient pathways, improved digital care services, or optimized healthcare processes.

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 Technology 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 delivery model and strategic partnerships with ecosystem partners such as Microsoft, AWS, and Google.

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 Business Information Technology, Data Science & AI, Healthcare/Life Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, or closely related disciplines.
• Skills: Affinity with technology, IT, and/or healthcare; you actively follow the latest technological developments.
• Mindset: Ambitious and proactive, naturally analytical, 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 learn and grow.
• Extras: Competitive internship allowance and travel expense reimbursement.
• Inclusion, Diversity & Social Impact: Do Good Volunteer Program, I&D Networks, Refugee Talent Track.
