Main themes
The internship offers students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the professional world. The professional immersion environment is generally an architectural agency where the student is confronted for three weeks with different aspects of the architect's life (from design to construction site, including contacts with clients and material suppliers). The internship can also be done in a design office, an administration, a research team or any other organization related to the world of construction. It opens the door to the various potential opportunities of the training. The internship allows the application of disciplinary knowledge and skills in a professional setting.
At the end of the internship, the student draws up a report, accompanied by a certificate from the internship supervisor to ensure its validity.
