Internships

Our engineering students complete internships of varying lengths:

  • 1 month: Operator, observer or discovery internship
    This introductory internship provides students with their first insight into the business world, often in a hands-on operator role. It allows them to observe the company’s operations from technical, human, economic and organisational perspectives.
  • 2 to 3 months: Technical or applied internship
    These internships quickly make students operational and are aligned with the options they have chosen in their academic path.
  • 5 months: Assistant engineer internship
    This internship plays a key role in shaping the student’s personal and professional project. Immersed in a team of engineers, students gain insight into the scope of engineering roles and use this experience to guide their choices for the final year of study and the more advanced final-year project to come.
  • 4 to 6 months: Final-year internship
    This internship takes the form of a comprehensive engineering project with an international dimension. It offers you the opportunity to train students in your methods while benefiting from their technical and creative skills.
