In line with the students’ educational project, they are aimed at putting into practice, in France or abroad, the teaching provided at the IECA. They are subject to a convention between the host organization and the IECA.

Students must start looking for an internship on their own. To do so, they have the support of their teachers. In addition, they are sent internship propositions offered by companies, which have been validated beforehand by the teachers.

The total compulsory duration varies according to the degree. Master 1 students must complete 8 weeks while Master 2 students must complete a minimum of 16 weeks. It is possible to combine several internships to reach the total duration requested.
The graduation of the student depends on the validation of the internship(s), in compliance with the rules set forth.

To offer an internship, please send an email to Hubert Bouchez.
