An internship can be done during a Distance Learning (EAD) course. There are two types:

• Compulsory internships are an integral part of the course. These internships award ECTS credits and are required for validation of the academic year. They are overseen by the pedagogical secretariat of your component. Please find further information hereunder.
• Optional internships, if you wish to carry out an internship in addition to your course. These internships do not award ECTS credits They are overseen directly by theÌýUniversity Career Guidance and Professional Integration Centre (SCUIO-IP).

1. Regulations

The internship must take place within an academic year: between September 1st, of the present year and September 30th, of the following academic year.
Duration of internships must not exceed 6 months (924 hours).

International internships are permitted subject to the student’s social security cover. PVU has the right to refuse to sign an internship agreement in a country considered to be at risk by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The intern must produce a report and an assessment, and the university must do likewise. The procedures are set by the head of training.

Prior to the internship, it is compulsory that the student take out liability insurance. A copy must be given to the pedagogical secretariat of the component.

All students enjoy social security cover in case of occupational injury, whatever their social security regime status. This is maintained for the duration, and site, of the internship.

It is compulsory to give a payment for internships of two months consecutive or more (from the 309th hour included). This does not include paramedics and local institutions in French overseas territories.

In the event of several internships at the same position, an intermediate waiting period between each internship must be respected, equal to one third of the duration of the previous internship (for example: for an initial internship of 3 months, the intermediate period is 1 month).

2. Procedure for a compulsory internship

First, contact your head lecturer in order to submit the internship project.

If the lecturer approves the project: process and edit internship agreements directly via ENT, using the application Pstage (tab Career guidance Integration > Internships).

Once the internship agreements have been edited, sign the three copies and have them countersigned by the manager of the host organisation and by the future internship tutor.

Then, return the three original copies of the internship agreement to the pedagogical secretariat of the component, along with a copy of your civil liability certificate, at least 15 days before the starting date of the internship:

Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3
Route de Mende
34199 Montpellier Cedex 5

• Contact the person responsible for overseeing internships at the pedagogical secretariat, to finalise the procedure (signature of the head lecturer and of the manager of the department upon which you depend).
  The first copy is to be kept; the second copy is for the host organisation.
• At the end of the internship, please return the internship completion certificate to the pedagogical secretariat.
