More than just graduating...
Are you studying for a bachelor’s or master’s degree in ICT, computer science or software engineering? And do you want to be sure you graduate at the level that suits you? If you’re eager and want your graduation to be the first step in your career, come and meet us!
At Iquality, you’ll join an organisation with a true technical culture: freedom, autonomy, responsibility and plenty of room for your ideas to solve unusual challenges. AI is changing our field rapidly, and we’re actively moving with it: our developers increasingly work together with AI agents, and we build AI applications for our clients. That’s also how we shape our graduation internships, of course within all the requirements set by your study programme. We have years of experience with graduate students, so we know exactly what you need to graduate.
Graduation assignment
First you: during the first conversations, we’ll work together to find out where your interests lie and how we can turn them into a graduation assignment.
We think it’s important that you feel comfortable with your topic and enjoy what you do. For example, do you want to focus entirely on back-end, or on full stack? Do you want to combine back-end with cloud and DevOps, or with data? Do you want to research how to integrate AI functionality, such as language models and AI agents, reliably and securely into existing systems? Or how AI-driven software development is changing the quality and speed of our work? Would you like a topic that adds value to society, or rather an assignment in a complex banking environment? There are plenty of possibilities! We ask a lot of questions in this conversation, so we get a clear picture of where your interests lie, and where they don’t. After the conversation, we’ll email you a possible graduation assignment.
Excited? Then it’s up to you to refine the assignment and submit it to your study programme.
Possible internship assignments and techniques
An example of a possible assignment is developing an API, an integration between systems or a cloud-native service. Before building it, you research the possibilities and gather the requirements. Another example is working on the performance, scalability or security of existing applications.
There are also plenty of possibilities in the field of AI. Think of building an AI agent that carries out tasks in existing business systems via APIs, a service that uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to answer questions based on company documentation, or research into testing, securing and monitoring AI applications in production. You could also research how agentic development, where AI agents independently take on parts of the development work, best fits into our development process. Of course, we make sure the assignments meet the requirements of your study programme!
Technologies often used in our graduation assignments include:
- C# / .NET Core Azure (platform, database, etc.)
- REST APIs / GraphQL
- Microservices / event-driven architecture
- SQL / databases
- Containers / Kubernetes
- CI/CD (Azure DevOps)
- Azure AI Foundry / Azure OpenAI
- Semantic Kernel / AI agents / Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- Vector search and RAG (for example Azure AI Search)
- AI coding assistants and agents (such as GitHub Copilot and Claude Code)
At Iquality they take the time for graduates, you receive personal guidance and you work on an assignment that matches your interests.

Graduation period
During your graduation period we work according to the SCRUM methodology. We use sprints of 14 days. You fill the backlog, are part of our stand-ups and we conclude the sprint with a retrospective. In this way, we continuously evaluate together how your graduation is going, whether the level is too low or too high and how we will enter the next sprint. This way you decide whether you graduate with a 6 or a 9 and to what extent you want to be challenged.
We therefore give you every opportunity to develop further. We believe that this is possible through the right guidance and cooperation. Moreover, we are a close-knit group of colleagues who help each other grow, substantively and personally. As students, you also learn from each other because we try to have a group of 6-8 graduates participate in our organization every six months.
Graduation and then...
The graduation period at Iquality is the way for you to show what you have to offer. It is also the way for you to determine whether Iquality is an employer where you would like to start your career. And it is the way for us to experience whether you could become part of our great team. Win-win-win, right?
