International Bachelor Internship

Participants have to carry out a minimum 6 months in a company in France or abroad. Students are responsible for finding a suitable internship with the help of the school, as we consider it to be part of the learning process. The internship takes place at the end of the second year and is a natural transition into their final year. Consequently the tasks they will be undertaking within the internship should be related to their chosen major subject.

The internship has to be approved by the Dean of the International Bachelor. The work done while on internship is assessed through a report on a project the student has been involved in. The work is graded and counts as an active learning unit.

Why carry out an internship ?

Applying your professional skills and the theory you have acquired through business cases is a very challenging and enriching experience. It will provide you with the necessary perspective that is required to make sound judgments and take appropriate actions. Also depending on the department and the company where you work, it may be a defining moment as it helps define career plans. Finally, some company experience makes you more attractive on the jobmarket.

Watch, learn and apply"

Being a Marketing major I asked to do my internship in that sector of the company.Coincidently this was the department that was having the most issues and that required the most work. Additionally, I arrived at the time of a new product launch that required extensive preparation and an excellent opportunity for me to watch, learn and apply. My academic education taught me to use my knowledge and apply my skills whenever necessary. During my internship not only did I perfect my Italian, I improved my Marketing and Communication techniques. I was asked to prepare and present power point presentations, to brainstorm ideas for advertising claims and communication letters to clients. In the end, I was able to help the marketing department think of solutions for their problems.
