Internship Agreement

Siemens Software normally issues its own internship agreement. The agreement must be reviewed and approved by the intern’s university before the internship can begin.

An exception applies to KU Leuven, which uses its own agreement process due to the formal cooperation agreement established between Siemens Software and the university.

Eligibility and Permit Requirements for Belgium

• Belgian nationals
• EU/EEA nationals
• International students who already hold a valid Belgian international student residence permit

International students holding a residence permit issued by another EU or EEA country are not eligible unless they also hold the appropriate Belgian authorization.

A residence permit issued by another EU or EEA country does not automatically grant the right to undertake an internship in Belgium.

Due to administrative constraints, Siemens Software cannot provide support for obtaining or converting a Belgian residence permit for the purpose of this internship.

Compensation & Internship Arrangements

Internship arrangements in Belgium are structured in accordance with local legal and market practices and are communicated transparently in line with Siemens’ pay-transparency principles and applicable European requirements.
