Mandatory international internship

A 3-month international internship at the end of the first year of the engineering program (student and apprentice programs) is mandatory. This experience is essential for obtaining a diploma and its primary objective is to allow students to discover themselves in a foreign country. Adapting to a new culture, understanding a language, assimilating habits and customs, finding a job or housing, learning to live by new rules, etc. are all goals that will reveal to each student all the resources at his or her disposal.

For students in the General Engineering program, internships can take several forms: employment in a company, humanitarian missions, community service, research assistantships, summer jobs, etc.

For apprentices in Industrial Engineering, the international mission can be carried out either in the company (subsidiary, etc.) where the student is doing his or her apprenticeship, or in another company (industrial, service, distribution, etc.).

All internships in the student program can be done abroad

To go further and prepare for an international career, each student can expand his or her internship experiences abroad throughout the curriculum.

You can therefore accumulate numerous experiences and up to 50 weeks of internships abroad (including the compulsory first-year internship) by choosing to do the projects below in a foreign country :

  • ECAM4:  2nd year technical internship
  • ECAM5: Final year engineering internship

Spotlight on the Engineering Internship

The school encourages students in the General Engineering program to do their engineering internship abroad. More and more students are trying this adventure for a period of six months, and this experience doubles the advantages of the end-of-study internship by combining engineering objectives and immersion in foreign countries.
