Internship Abroad | Possible |
Work placements punctuate the three years spent at the school:
- A summer internship at a company at the end of the3rdyear (minimum 1 month) to gain insight into the professional world.
- Internships
- Thefourthyear concludes with an engineering student internship, which takes place during the summer (at least 2 months) at a company.
- Intheir fifthyear, after completing the industrial project, students participate in an engineering internship (at least 5 months) at a company in France or abroad.
-
In5thgrade, students in the adapted program can:
- Complete a 12-month professional training contract at a company. The professional training contract includes the completion of an industrial project and an internship at the company.
- pursue a professional master's degree or a research master's degree concurrently with their studies at Polytech, within certain partner university departments (AES at the University of Montpellier).
In4thand5thgrade, they work on an industrial project (300 hours) that places them in a professional setting and allows them to develop their independence
