Health Technology Internship
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.
How to apply: Submit your CV and a cover letter (preferably in Dutch) explaining your interest in Accenture Netherlands and this internship. Please clearly indicate your preferred start date, the length of your internship, and whether you are applying for a work placement or a thesis internship.
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.

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.
