Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
The internship is organized under the responsability of a internship committee consisting of
- the academic sponsor: contacted by the student, he validates the scientific and/or technical contents of the internship and assumes the academic supervision;
- the industrial sponsor: he assumes the daily supervision in the host institution;
- one or more ULiège professors or scientists, able to evaluate the work carried out during the internship.
A non-exhaustive list of subjects is available on the website http://www.fsasurvey.ulg.ac.be/tfe/list.php. Students can propose subjects on their own, but these subjects must be approved by an academic sponsor.
Students' University registration must be complete by the time they start the internship.
Administrative steps:
- The academic sponsor proposes an internship committee to the internship coordinator.
- Before the intership begins, the student sends the completed internship agreement and the risk analysis form (cf. https://www.facsa.uliege.be/cms/c_3178752/fr/facsa-stages) to the intership coordinator.
- In the three weeks following the end of the internship, the student sends his/her written report to each member of the committee, as well as to the internship coordinator. The student also sends the corresponding assessment form to the industrial sponsor (cf. https://www.facsa.uliege.be/cms/c_3178752/fr/facsa-stages), who sends it back to the internship coordinator.
- Once the report is handed in, the student contacts the committee members and the internship coordinator to find a date suitable for the defense. The defense can take place during or out of the standard examination periods, depending on the constraints of the members. The internship coordinator acts as a moderator during the defense.
