Preparing for your placement

The course

A temporary period of work experience in a professional environment, the work placement has an educational objective. This immersion should enable students to acquire professional skills and put into practice what they have learned. An internship in a company or organisation may be undertaken at any level of study (bachelor's, master's and doctorate) provided that the year of study includes at least 200 hours of teaching.
