Internship opportunities
M2 work placement: 6 months' immersion in a research team!
The Master 2 work placement enables students to immerse themselves in a research project, acquire data and contribute to scientific reflection. At the end of this period, students write a dissertation and summarise their findings.
The research placement takes place in semester 4 (S4) and is supervised by a professional or university placement tutor. The oral presentation, which follows the assessment of the written report, takes the form of a final examination before a jury.
These courses are offered as part of the various master's degrees attached to CEREGE and are also open to external students.
Our recommendations:
- Contact the course supervisors.
Check the list of internship topics below regularly, which is updated frequently (particularly between September and December).
