Internship and Master thesis

Most Master's programs include a Master's thesis and an internship.

Different types of internships are organized.

• The observation internship lasts for 20 working days.  It is primarily meant to provide students with a first professional experience. The student is usually integrated in a team and associated to a project. Thereby, he/she learns how projects are typically carried out in industry. 

• The technical  internship (40 working days) asks for a more substantial work from the trainee.  He/she must demonstrate his/her ability to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during his/her studies and bring a significant contribution to a company project approved by an academic supervisor.

• The long term internship typically lasts for 80 days during which the trainee is completely immersed in a company or in a (private or academic) research laboratory and carries out an independent work as part of his/her Master's thesis.

(*) Note: depending on the course of study, the long-term internship may be part of a final thesis, subject to approval by the promoter.
