To facilitate better matches between students seeking placements and companies offering placements, this year we plan to publish the name, country and field of activities of companies who are planning to apply to host one or more Vulcanus students.
This way, students who are interested in a placement at a particular company will be motivated to apply.
If you would like us to include your company’s details, please find more information in the first page of the application form (https://www.eu-japan.eu/vulcanus-europe-application-form).
This step is not compulsory, but recommended. It does not create any commitment. It merely shows your intent to apply to host a student.
To apply, you would still need to submit the official online Vulcanus application (https://www.eu-japan.eu/vulcanus-europe-application-form)
