I got into Eramus University Rotterdam's clinical psychology research skills track, I have a 8.92 CGPA in my bachelor's (I did it in India) and one publication. I did do an internship where I learned how to read brain scans and learned how to take case studies of patients.

I'm so worried that I won't be able to land an internship during my degree.

I am thinking of looking into internships in human factor research as well since most of my courses focus on cognitive neuropsychology and we'll be working closely with the students of a research master's in brain and cognitive psychology. I don't really mind any internship in this field to be honest cause I'm interested in it so any job will do, I also enjoy working with numbers and I'm working on my python skills for now I only know the basics.

My master's haven't started yet and I know that it is a competitive field.

Has anybody here landed a research internship? In a company or any university? What things did you include in your cv? I just want to know where I can improve since my year hasn't started yet. Thank you:)

I'm currently enrolled at Erasmus University Rotterdam for clinical psychology (clinical track) and I'm thinking of differing one year because I think I need to learn dutch to get internships, which I know is very important. And I also want to enter GZ post grad training. Its just that I've heard so many stories of people who didn't know dutch and didn't get an internship. Is there anybody (I mean international student) who learned dutch till B2+ and got into GZ training? Do these people exist? I'm feeling kinda demotivated.

Is it actually possible for internationals to become a clinical psychologist in the Netherlands or am I missing something?

Please if you have gone through the training, your advice would be really appreciated.
