New measures regarding internships

Taking the current uncertain circumstances into account, and in order to reassure you in the search for and validation of your internship at the end of the academic year and/or at the end of your studies, your School has put the following measures in place:

• PGE Students
• IBPM Students
• Students in the MSc Programmes (not including double degree students)
• Toolbox

PGE students :

If you are currently a PGE 1 student (and you are not planning on doing a gap year) :

You will be required to complete a minimum of 36 weeks of internship throughout the entirety of your PGE programme, including 1 internationally-oriented internship (any students who choose to carry out a double degree MSc in International Finance or Financial Data Intelligence will have to complete a total of 44 weeks of internship).

Therefore, if you are unable to complete your PGE1 internship before the start of the academic year starting in September 2020, you will be able postpone it until the end of PGE2 (before your PGE2 internship) or PGE3 (before your PGE3 end-of-study internship).

If you are unable to do your internship in PGE1, the PGE1 internship credits will not be carried over to PGE2 and the module will be graded as DEFERRED (and not as FAIL). You will recover your PGE2 internship credits in PGE3.

If you are currently a student in PGE 1 (and you are planning on doing a gap year):

You will be able to make up the 8 weeks of internship at the beginning of your gap year or before your end-of-study internship in PGE3. If you are unable to do your internship in PGE1, the PGE1 internship credits will not be carried over to PGE2 and the module will be graded as DEFERRED (and not as FAIL). You will recover your PGE2 internship credits in PGE3.

If you are currently student in PGE 1 (and you will be starting a 2-year RPI work-study programme in the 2020/2021 academic year).

Your internship period is either reduced to 6 weeks or you will be able to make up for the 8-week internship after your 2-year work-study period with a separate internship agreement (in this case you will have to renew your student status by paying the CVEC) or with a full-time work contract (CDD, CDI, VIE).

If you are currently a student in PGE2 who will join PGE3 at the beginning of the academic year starting in September 2020.

Your PGE2 internship is reduced to 6 weeks and must be completed before the end of August.

If you are currently a student in PGE2 who will complete a gap year during the 2020-21 academic year and will join PGE3 in September 2021:

You will be required to complete a minimum of 40 weeks of internship during the 2020-21 academic year.

If you are currently a student in PGE2 who will not take a gap year and will enter PGE3 as a work-study student in September 2020. Your PGE2 internship is reduced to 6 weeks and must be completed before the end of August. If you are unable to complete it, you can postpone the 8 weeks of internship to be carried out after the 2-year work-study period.

If you are currently an AST2 student in PGE2 and you will not be doing a gap year (you are planning to join PGE3 in September 2020):

You will have to complete a minimum of 26 weeks of internship throughout your PGE course, (any students who choose to carry out a double degree MSc in International Finance or Financial Data Intelligence will have to complete 34 weeks of internship).
Therefore, if you cannot complete your PGE2 internship before September 2020, you can postpone it to PGE3 (before your PGE3 end-of-study internship).
The end of your PGE3 end-of-study internship can therefore be extended to February 28th, 2022 (requiring you to pay CVEC in 2022 in order to retain your student status).
Important: one of your internships during the PGE programme must be internationally-oriented = this is obligatory for your graduation.

 If you are currently an AST2 student in PGE2, who has not completed a gap year, and will enter PGE3 as a work-study student in September 2020.:

Your PGE2 internship is reduced to 6 weeks and must be completed before the end of August. If you are unable to complete it, you can postpone the 8 weeks of internship to be carried out after the 2-year work-study period.

If you are currently a PGE2 student on a gap year (2019/2020) and you will join PGE3 in September 2020:

The minimum number of weeks of gap year internship is reduced to 26 weeks (or 6 months). You are still required to complete an internationally-oriented internship during your PGE course before graduation.

If you are currently a PGE2 student on a gap year (2019/2020) and will enter PGE3 as a work-study student in September 2020:

The minimum number of weeks of gap year internship is reduced to 26 weeks (or 6 months). You are still required to complete an internationally-oriented internship during your PGE course before graduation.

If you are currently a PGE2 student on a calendar (or reversed) gap year and you will integrate S4 of PGE2 from January 2021:

You are required to do a minimum of 8 weeks of internship. You are still required to complete an internationally-oriented internship during your PGE course before graduation.

If you are currently a PGE3 or PGE3/MSc student at the end of your studies:

You will have to validate a minimum of 16 weeks (4 months) of internship (or 24 weeks for MSc IF and FDI students).
The end of the PGE3 internship can therefore be extended to February 28th, 2021 (in this case you will have to renew your student status by paying the CVEC).

As a reminder: the international-oriented internship to be completed during the PGE program is validated if it is carried out abroad and/or if it involves regular exchanges with foreign partners and missions related to international affairs.

IBPM students:

IBPM1:

Students who have not completed an internship in IBPM 1 will have to complete a minimum of 8 weeks of internship before the start of the school year in September 2020 in order to move on to the next year.

IBPM2:

You are required to complete an internship of at least 6 weeks before the beginning of the school year in September 2020.

IBPM3:

You must have completed 24 weeks of internship during your IBPM course to validate this module (PASS). Thus, if you have already completed 24 weeks of internship during your IBPM course, the IBPM3 internship module will be validated and you are not obliged to look for a final internship.
Furthermore, any IBPM3 student wishing to enter the job market after completing the IBPM course has the choice of doing an internship until 31/12/20. If the student finds a full-time job the contract will act as a substitute for the internship.

Students that have integrated IBPM3 following an IUT, DUT , BTS….

You have until the 31st August 2020 to carry out at least 8 weeks of internship.

International students that have integrated IBPM 3 (non-exchange)

You have until the 31st August 2020 to carry out at least 8 weeks of internship.

Students in the MSc Programmes (not including double degree students):

You will have to validate a minimum of 16 weeks (4 months) of internship (or 24 weeks for MSc IF and FDI students).
The end of thE PGE3 internship can therefore be extended to February 28th, 2021 (in this case you will have to renew your student status by paying the CVEC).
