INTERNATIONAL INTERNSHIP


Looking for an international internship

Internship offers are available via Highered et GoingGlobal websites. You can always access to their sites from the "International" tab on TSM-Connect.

Scholarships can be granted to help you pay for your stay abroad. You can find all the information regarding scholarships on the Financer sa mobilité, managed by the SCREI, Service Commun des Relations Européennes et Internationales of the University Toulouse Capitole.


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.


Duration

Total length of your internship cannot exceed 924 hours (any prolongation included) within the same company, even outside of France, during the same academic year.


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.


Gratification

If you intern in a country other than France, French rules concerning the required stipend for interns are not applicable, and your internship may be unpaid.


Internship agreement

The internship agreement is mandatory.

For more information on the agreements, see the pages Internship agreement request process et How to fill out my agreement.


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..
