Evaluation methods

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.

After the completion of the traineeship, students will account for their learning outcomes by means of the following activities:

• written report (± 15 pages) in the A language;
• public presentation and defence of 15 minutes (10 minutes powerpoint presentation and 5 minutes question-answer session) of their traineeship.

The traineeship is assessed by a jury. The assessment takes into account:

•  the student's performance during the traineeship based on the mentor's report and the academic supervisor's report (60% of the global score);
• the student's written report (30% of the global score);
• public powerpoint presentation and defence (10% of the global score).  

The three parts of the internship must be evaluated, otherwise it will not be validated

Other information

Due to health safety measures, the student may be required to complete the internship at any time during the year, during Q1 and Q2 or only during Q2, provided that the total duration of the internship corresponds to the expected duration. The evaluation will take place in Q2. An internship started in Q1 has to respect the rhythm of the courses the student must take in Q1.
