A compulsory internship every year
In the Master's program, students in the Intercultural and International Communication program have the opportunity to apply the theoretical and practical knowledge taught in class during a professional internship.
Students must complete a compulsory internship in M1 and M2, in France or abroad. This internship, lasting 3 to 4 months in M1, and 6 months in M2, leads them to put into practice the theoretical and linguistic knowledge acquired during the current academic year, and enables them to take their first steps in the professional sector of their choice.
