Description
3- to 6-month internship (21 ECTS) in a laboratory with the aim of immersing students in the world of research and preparing them for their thesis. This internship can be carried out in a research laboratory in France or abroad. It runs from March1 to May 31, when the written report is due. An oral defense takes place at the beginning of June. The internship may be extended until August 31 in order to move directly on to the thesis. Topics cover a wide spectrum ranging from theoretical physics (cosmology, particle physics, and astroparticle physics) to experimental physics (LHC experiments, search for gravitational waves or dark matter, large-field cosmological surveys, etc.).
