Reimbursement

Examiners of research projects receive reimbursement both when they supervise students in their own group and when they act as examiners for projects outside UU/UMCU. Host institutes or groups do not receive reimbursements. 

Reimbursement between faculties

At the UU and the UMCU agreements have been made and arrangements are in place at faculty level regarding the reimbursement of education and research projects or internship supervision. This means that examiners are reimbursed for all students within the GSLS regardless of their programme.

For questions about the reimbursement of supervision of students (also students from other faculties), please contact your own faculty: 

• Faculty of Medicine/UMC Utrecht: Martine Koppenhol 
• Faculty of Science: Pim Visscher 
• Veterinary Sciences Faculty: Education Office of your Faculty 

Internship allowance UMC Utrecht and other UMCs

Recently, the Netherlands Federation of University Medical Centres launched the new collective labor agreement 2024-2025 for UMC employees. In this new agreement some conditions regarding internship allowance changed.

The internship allowance does not apply to students who follow their education (partly) at a University Medical Center (UMC) and who have to do a practical part within a UMC as part of this education.

Also, when a UMC department contributes a specific educational component for a course offered by another faculty, any practical part associated with that contribution does not qualify for an internship allowance.

This list (in Dutch) shows the programmes that are excluded from the internship allowance, including all GSLS Master’s programmes.

If you have any GSLS-related questions, please contact Shirrinka Goubitz, managing director GSLS. Are you a UMC Utrecht staff member and do you have UMC-related questions, please find more information on Connect (in Dutch; UMC login required).
