M1 S2 internship

The individual M1 internship lasts approximately three months and, depending on the program, must be completed in a research laboratory or a non-academic organization. It allows students to gain professional experience in the field of biodiversity, evolution, or ecology. It can be carried out in a local, national, or international organization, on a topic approved by the teaching team so as to fit in with the objectives specific to the program followed by the student.

Assessment: Preparation for the internship is assessed on the basis of a written document and a presentation of the internship project. The internship work is assessed during a public presentation before a panel, during which the content of the dissertation and the quality of the responses to the panel's questions are evaluated. The student's behavior and enthusiasm during the internship are assessed by the internship supervisor.
