During the third term, students can choose to do an internship in a first level company or public institution (professional track), or take two specialized subjects (research track). The number of internship offers largely depends on economic and labor market conditions. As firms and institutions select candidates from the pool of applicants and all apply their own selection criteria, the master cannot, a priori, guarantee that every student who would like to do an internship will find one.
