The American University of Paris encourages students to complete at least one internship during their academic program. Internships enable students to explore their interests, develop their network, and gain the professional experience they need for life after graduation.

Internship laws and policies in France are complex, so it is important for students to know about the process required to register for internships.

• Internships (鈥渟tages鈥�) in France have a very specific legal status and UP TO 2 WEEKS can be required to process the paperwork.
• Internships must be registered BEFORE YOU BEGIN THEM, comprise at least 120 hours and require a completed written assignment to count for CCX credit.

French law stipulates that internships are reserved for currently-enrolled, degree-seeking students. Once students have听been coded as graduates they cannot carry out an internship. Deferring graduation听by extending your student status enables students to complete a final zero-credit internship before leaving 吃瓜tv. Please schedule an appointment with a Career Advisor to learn more about this option.

Internships and Visas听

Students are responsible for ensuring that their visa status is current and appropriate based on where and when the student plans to intern. Every country is different 鈥� do not make any assumptions. The best place to begin searching for information is on the website of the local Paris-based embassy of the country where you are interested in interning. The companies listed below provide assistance听with internship visas in certain countries, and can be hired directly by the student:听

SIS听guides听students through the student visa process, and students with a valid long-term student visa who are enrolled as full-time degree-seeking students are eligible to intern in France. Students are not eligible to do internships after they graduate. If you have requested to defer the conferment of your degree after the completion of your degree requirements, you may need to find an internship and have a signed French internship contract (convention de听stage)听for a company in France before you can apply for a visa extension to do the internship.
