Placements/internships and partnerships
During their training, Master's students take part in placement/internships, either in a company or an institution, or at a university (HE) laboratory. The international dimension constitutes an important part of the whole Master's programme, both by the welcoming of foreign students and by the possibility all of them have to spend part of the course abroad. The partnerships engaged by UTC-Compiegne with foreign universities make it possible to offer, under certain conditions, courses, semesters or placement/internships in these institutions.
Placements/internships
First year
During their first year of the Master, students can do a short internship (4 weeks: ST01) either during the inter-semester (January-February), or at the end of the Spring semester (July). They can do this internship in one of the research laboratories of UTC or of its partners, in a research laboratory of another institution or in a company after agreement of the course director.
The students must find these internships themselves and propose it to the head of the specialty course for validation before:
- early December for the inter-semester departure;
- end of May for the July departure.
Second year
The students must carry out a final project at the end of their second year of the Master's programme. According to profile and professional project, they can carry out this project in one of the research laboratories of UTC or its partners, in a research laboratory of another establishment or within a company.
They can participate in the personal research of their placement/internship by respecting the rules defined by the Master coordinator in liaison with the heads of the fields and courses: deadlines, research abroad.
At the same time, they can apply for internships received directly by the 3E service (currently more than 5,000 industrial contacts throughout France or abroad with large industrial groups or SMEs) and validated by the pedagogical authorities, which are offered on the student portal ent.utc.fr. Each placement/internship is subject to a formal signed agreement.
Non-curricular and gap year internships are also possible under certain conditions, but they do not count as ECTS credits.
Partnerships and double degrees
The partnerships engaged by the UTC with foreign universities allow to propose, under certain conditions, courses, semesters or internships in these institutions.
- Partnership between the network of the UTs in France and the University of Shanghai (UTSEUS) which concerns both education and research. The UTC welcomes students from UTSEUS from the engineering curriculum and the Bachelor's/Master's curriculum during the two years of the Master's degree.
- Students from the most prestigious Chinese universities in the framework of the Chinese Scholarship Council (CSC)) programme are welcome.
- The exchange agreement between UTC and the Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan on the theme of the perception of innovation compared in France and in Japan.
- Agreements with target institutions such as Linköping University in Sweden, the technical university Braunschweig (TUB), with the technical university of lmenau (TUIL) in Germany, with the the technological university of Eindhoven (TU/e- Netherlands) et l'university of Genoa (UNIGE, Italy).
- The agreement signed with the Lebanese Univefsity (UL) which focuses on complex systems engineering and bioengineering.
The Erasmus Programmes
UTC-Compiegne and its partners are involved or are in discussion to integrate Erasmus Mundus programmes. When the programmes are operational, they allow the students selected to carry out part of their curriculum or their internship in one of the partner universities.
- The L'université de Picardie Jules Verne participates in the Erasmus Mundus Master's programme "Materials for energy storage and conversion" which is one of the main axes of the l'Institut de recherche européen ALISTORE-ERI. This double degree course is co-accredited at the French level with the University Paul Sabatier (Toulouse 3) and the University de Provence (Marseille 1), l'the University of Cordoba and theUniversity of Warsaw (Poland)
- University of Paul Sabatier (Toulouse 3) and the University of Provence (Marseille 1), the University of Cordoba and the University of Warsaw. This course, which is independent of the Transformation and Valorisation of Natural Resources, is different in the nature of the teaching provided and the timetable presented to students (only one semester in Amiens).
- Depending on their professional project, some students can benefit from the réseau"Alistore network in order to complete their internship in one of the partner laboratories.
- UPJV has ERASMUS agreements with various foreign establishments (Faculty of pharmacy, Lisbon (Portugal), University de Seville (Spain), University of Debrecen (Hungary)…) within the framework of which, depending on their profile, some students can complete one or two semesters of training, after validation of the training programme by the teaching staff of the specialties concerned.
- The spécialty UxD is involved in an Intensive Program Erasmus focused on design, which annually welcomes 80 to 100 students to Kortrijk for a period of 15 days. This programme has just been renewed by the European Commission.
- A partnership with the University Nicolas Copernic, Torun (Poland), which hosts an Erasmus programme in cognitive sciences, is currently being developed.
