The Master 1 and 2 programmes include an internship in a laboratory or company, the aim of which is to train students through research and to integrate them into a professional environment.
These internships enable you to progress in a variety of scientific field and are essential to improve the following skills:

•     autonomy
•     time and resources management
•     writing (by writing the final report)

Internships need an agreement which is signed between the UGA and the host laboratory(ies) or company(ies). You will be supervised by researchers or professionals who participate in the assessment of the work carried out. Internship reports are then assessed by a Major (M1) or Speciality (M2) jury. In addition, an oral presentation enables the jury to assess the student's scientific maturity, theoretical knowledge and autonomy in working on the project.
