Internships IES internships are offered as academic options earning IES credit. In addition to the on-site work experience, students are expected to keep a work journal, give an oral presentation, and submit a final report, which analyzes and evaluates the activities performed during the internship. As the geographical heart of the European Union, the region of Burgundy has attracted numerous multinational companies, as well as many small and medium-sized European businesses. IES Dijon arranges internships during the semester with businesses and governmental organizations. Students should plan to devote a minimum of 8-10 hours per week to the work experience, for a minimum of eighty contact hours during the semester.
Students earn three semester credit hours for the combined seminar and work experience.
Placement depends upon availability, the student s background, and the student s command of the French language. Final selections for internships cannot be made until after interviews in Dijon. Contact the Web Coordinator .
