Course contents :

| The student achieves an internship with a minimal duration of 80 open days, which is necessarily linked to a master thesis. An academic advisor and a representative of the company approve the specific objectives of the internship and carry on its follow-up.
The student is covered by the university insurance provided that an internship agreement between the student, the company and the academic advisor is signed before the beginning of the internship. If needed, a risk analysis survey should also be completed.
At the end of the internship, the student delivers a report and the industrial representative fills in an evaluation sheet. At the end of the semester, the internship is evaluated by the academic advisor who decides whether the credits are validated. |

- the report provided by the student, which should include the objective of the internship, a study of its organization (linked with the company management lecture if relevant) and an activity report focused on non-technical aspects. The report, clearly separated from the master thesis, should be well presented. The length is free but a 15 pages contribution is generally expected.
