Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
There are two periods to be prefered for organizing the internship:
Option 1: during the summer period between master 1 and 2 (before the academic year in which the internship stays in the programme)
Option 2: at the beginning of the 2nd quadrimester (February - March)
It is highly recommended that students which internship is not in line with their MSc thesis to give a preference to option 1, in order tp avoid loosing time for working on the MSc thesis.
A contract that describes the conditions of the internship has to be signed by all interested parties (industry representative, coordinator, student) before the start of the internship.

You can also see with the promoter of your MSc thesis to identify an industrial partner for the internship. This is of course mandatory if the internship and the MSc thesis are linked.
