Graduation Internship at KPN Mobile Networks

KPN’s Mobile Networks organization is comprised of two departments: Mobile Core and Mobile Access. The Mobile Core team is responsible for the technologies that manage and control the network, including service provisioning and user authentication. The Mobile Access team ensures optimal user experience through robust coverage and capacity, achieved via our radio network. This team is involved in the design, construction, maintenance, planning, and optimization of our radio infrastructure.

You will be assigned an internal mentor within the team where your graduation project will be conducted. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to gain insights and experience by observing other departments within the Mobile Networks organization.

In 2025, KPN’s mobile network was recognized as the best in the Netherlands and achieved the highest score ever recorded globally. This achievement is the result of the continuous efforts of our network teams, who work tirelessly to improve and innovate our infrastructure. To maintain this level of excellence, we are constantly seeking talented individuals who can contribute to our mission including students interested in researching the future of telecommunications, IT, AI, and other fields related to mobile networks.

We do not offer a predefined thesis topic. Instead, we encourage you to collaborate with us and your academic institution to define a graduation project or thesis that aligns with your interests and our strategic focus. The only requirement is that the topic must be sufficiently relevant to the (future of) mobile networks, an area poised for significant transformation in the coming years.

We value an entrepreneurial, inquisitive, and constructively critical mindset. Furthermore, your profile includes:

• Enrollment in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree program with a strong focus on technology and/or engineering, Business Administration or similar.
• Proficiency in Dutch and English, both written and spoken.
• A collaborative spirit, with the ability to work independently and take ownership.

• A monthly internship allowance of €600 based on full-time participation
• Opportunities to engage in activities and collaborate with fellow interns and colleagues
• The potential for employment at KPN upon successful completion of the internship
• A hybrid working environment: 2 days in the office, 3 days remote
• A laptop for both internship and academic use
• Travel reimbursement for train or car if you do not have a student public transport card
• Collaboration within a multidisciplinary team of experienced professionals
• Access to an extensive network of experts at KPN who are eager to share their knowledge and connections

We have a strong belief in the power of technology made even more impactful through human interaction. We look forward to meeting you!
