Learning unit contents

It's a technical internship which aims to bring the student in contact with working life in a company where bioengineers are likely to exercice their activities.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

This interniship must allow the student to:


  • access to a better understanding of constraints and characteristics of work in professionnal context through the discovery of the reality of the job of a bioengineer, and a sector of activity;
  • mature its professional project and to better indentify its expectations, its adapability, its soft skills, etc.;
  • acquire a necessary professional approach to find an employment (conduct a preliminary reflection on the choice of the company where he wants to do his internship, writing a CV and a cover letter and prepartion for an interview, etc. ).

Further information:

The guidelines are outlined in the internship handbook available on the GxABT intranet (https://my.gxabt.uliege.be).

The grade consists of three parts:

  • technical task (40%)
  • self-assessment of skills (professional portfolio) (40%)
  • analysis of the host organization (20%)
The assessment procedures for each of these components are detailed in the internship handbook available on eCampus. The final grade will be the weighted average of the grades for the three components. In the event of a serious failure in one of the components (grade <8/20), the final grade will be the lowest of the three grades.

Any instance of a serious failure will be followed by feedback from the internship coordinator, who will decide-after consulting with the other instructors for the course and the relevant supervisor-on the procedures for a second attempt. These may, if necessary, involve completing a new internship.
