Internships application process
The selection process may differ slightly for each internship assignment but will generally follow these four phases.
Take your time to create a well-presented, relevant and clear CV and motivation letter that show why you want to work at ASML. You’ll get a confirmation email once we’ve received your application, and we’ll let you know the status of your application within two weeks.
The first selection phase is an online, pre-recorded interview. If you are selected for this phase, you’ll be invited to record your answers to a few pre-determined questions via the tool HireVue. We’re looking to learn more about the real you.
We’ll review your video within seven business days and if you’re chosen, you’ll be invited for an interview. An interview is a great opportunity for us to get to know you but also for you to get to know us and gain some insight into what it’s like to be part of ASML.
A few days after the interview, we’ll inform you if you’ve been selected to start your internship at ASML.
Contact our coordinators for more information about internships or graduation projects. Unfortunately it's not possible to submit an open application.

You will sign an ASML internship agreement (work contract).
