Some companies prefer to use their own convention. In this case, the process is as follows:

Apply for a standard agreement on TSM Connect.

This agreement will not be sent to the company: it will allow the school to follow up.


2. Title of the internship

Fill in all the fields of the form. Indicate "Company agreement" in the title of the internship.
=> the internship office will thus apply the process of company-specific agreements.

If I don't know all the data in the form, I save the agreement as a "draft"

Provide the company with the information to be included on their agreement:
- Name of the university: Toulouse school of management ; Université Toulouse 1 Capitole

❗ Before this sending:
- the agreement must at least be signed by the student
- the application on TSM Connect must be validated by the academic advisor

5.  Signatures

The agreement is sent to the TSM administration for signature.

The company and the student then receive the agreement by e-mail.

Preparing for you departure

Internships abroad are allowed if the country of destination is not at risk. The University reserves the right to refuse to sign an internship agreement if the internship takes place in a foreign country classified at risk by the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs (MEAE). Click here to access to safety and health information of the host country.

Before your departure, you must report to the MEAE by registering on the Ariane website. Click here to access.


Health and safety

Concerning your social protection abroad, you should contact your primary health insurance fund: https://ameli.fr or https://etudiant-etranger.ameli.fr for foreign students. Consult the Cleiss website for all the information of the host country.

You are covered against the risks of accidents at work by French legislation if the following conditions are met:

  • Your gratuity is no more than 12.5% of the social security hourly limit
  • The internship is for a period of 6 months or less
  • The internship agreement has been signed by all parties (by the University, the host organization and the student)

If the bonus of the internship is higher than 12.5% of the hourly social security ceiling, you no longer benefit from the social protection of the French system:

  • It is necessary to check that there is an adequate social protection system in the host country, in particular against the risk of accidents at work and occupational diseases, and to ensure that the host company pays the contributions relating to the coverage of this risk
  • If the local system does not provide for social protection, it is advisable to take out insurance with the Caisse des Français de l'Etranger or with a private insurance company.


IMPORTANT : 

For all internships abroad:

  • You must read the appendix internship abroad which include:
    - Safety recommendations
    - Conditions of entry and stay in the host country
    - Information on insurance
  • You must take out private insurance covering medical repatriation, advance or excess costs and legal assistance. The insurance certificate must be attached to the internship agreement.
  • If you are a French citizen who plans to be in a foreign country longer than 6 months (counting your time before and after the internship), you should register yourself on the Registre des Français établis hors de France through the closest Consulate or Embassy. Citizens of other countries should look into similar registries as offered by their home countries..
