Main themes

The internship provides students of architecture the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the activities and procedures involved in the process of building. As well as with professional practice. While linked to the teaching at the Faculty, the internship takes place in time at a very different rhythm to that of organised teaching and thus enables theoretical knowledge to be applied in a professional framework.
The Master's degree internship takes place in an office, in a structure dealing with the built environment. It is compulsory to have the on-site presence of an architect or and architectural engineerwho will supervise the student's training. At the end of the internship, the architect writes a report on what the student has done, accompanied by various formal documents to guarantee its validity.
