Pedagogical methods

The corporate internship is based on an experiential learning approach through total immersion in a professional environment. The pedagogical method is structured around three axes: the execution of operational missions under the supervision of a corporate tutor (learning by doing), regular guidance from an academic advisor, and a final reflective process allowing the student to theorize their experience through the writing of a report.

Evaluation and grading system and catch up exams

The internship is evaluated by the company supervisor based on four categories of skills:
- General conduct
- Personal effectiveness
- Professional effectiveness
- Teamwork

The short-term internship is approved for graduation if the following two conditions are met:
- The required internship duration has been completed (minimum of 8 weeks)
- The internship report (L3) was submitted on time (by September 30 following the end of the internship) and received a grade of 10 or higher.
If the report grade is below 10, the student must submit a second version of the report within 15 days via the dedicated Moodle space. The grade for this second version is capped at 10. If the new grade is below 10, the student must complete another internship of the same duration during the following academic year and submit a report.
