• Internship - general framework

  The internship should last minimum 12 weeks (3 months), full time and maximum 12 months (full time or part time).

  The internship is an important activity of our Master program. Also, its concretization must be done in a real, formal organizational setting, and not in a virtual enterprise or within the framework of a personal accommodation.

  The internship thesis can take the form of an "internship-based case study" or of a "internship-based research thesis". These different options will be explained by the supervisor.

  In order to judge the quality of the internship, the student has to document the agreement request by providing a detailed description of the internship. The documentation of this accreditation procedure prior to the beginning of the internship is a responsibility of the trainee candidate.

  To be validated, the internship must be sufficiently complex, require a university degree and be related to one or more of the topics covered during the Master. It should also have an international character by being carried out within an international company/organization (SME, large company, NGO or civil service organization with exposure to international affairs) or within a company/organization in its internationalization phase. It can also take place in a large national company.
   

  Similarly, during the intership, the candidate must make real efforts to contact her/his direct academic supervisor designated by the program committee.
