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 (stages) 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泭been coded as graduates they cannot carry out an internship. Deferring graduation泭by extending your student status enables students to complete a final zero-credit internship before leaving 勛圖tv. Please schedule an appointment with a Career Advisor to learn more about this option.

SIS泭guides泭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泭stage)泭for a company in France before you can apply for a visa extension to do the internship.
