Internship procedure

Students enrolled in Licence 3 and Master have a mandatory internship in all specialties (including Bi-Licence). The number of hours of internship to be completed depends on the year and the student’s specialty. Internships can be done on a “one day per week” basis or part-time. All internships of 45 days or more (consecutive or not) must be paid.

Finding an intership

Think about meeting the people in charge of orientation and professional integration at the Pôle de l’Orientation et de la Professionnalisation who can answer your questions, guide you in finding an internship or help you with the administrative formalities.

The choice of the internship is made in agreement with the person in charge of the year’s pedagogical program, who is the teacher-referent (enseignant-référent).

The search for an internship is the responsibility of the students, who must actively seek out companies, schools, researchers and professors.

You will find on this page the few internships offered at the UFR of Linguistics: list of internship offers.

Procedure: 

  • Fill in the internship agreement (“convention de stage” in French) using the Pstage application.
    Useful links:
  • To count the number of working hours of the whole internship :
    Enter the start and end dates of the internship in the table on the website: http://www.joursouvres.fr/
    • If your internship is full-time: number of working days*7= total number of hours.
    • If your internship is part-time:
      • calculate the nb of hours if the internship were full time
      • and multiply it to the ratio of hours worked per week.
    • For example: your internship begins on October 3, 2016 and ends on February 2, 2017, and you will work 20 hours per week:
      • 87 working days* 7 hours = 609 full-time hours
      • 609 * (20/35) = a total of 348 hours
  • Before having the “convention” signed by the various signatories,  send a draft version downloaded from Pstage to the UFRL administration office (Yushu.Zhang@univ-paris-diderot.fr), who will check its conformity.
    Once it is approved by Mme Zhang, have it signed in that order:
    • Yourself
    • Your “enseignant référent” (usually the professor in charge of your parcours)
    • At the organisation hosting the internship: by your tutor and by the organisation’s legal representative.
    • NB: The signatures can be electronic, otherwise you need to print three exemplars and have them all signed.
  • Special case of an internship in a research laboratory at UPCité: the host organisation in this case is the Université Paris Cité, and the signing representative is the director of the laboratory. So, for example, for an internship at LLF:
    Name : UNIVERSITE PARIS CITE
    Address : 85 boulevard Saint Germain 75006 PARIS FRANCE
    N° Siret/UAI : 13002573700011
    Represented by (name of the representative of the host organisation or the person delegated to sign the agreement) :
    Mr BONAMI Olivier
    Position of representative: laboratory director
    Name of the department/laboratory where the work placement will be carried out: LABORATOIRE DE LINGUISTIQUE FORMELLE
    Tel : 01 57 27 82 49 E-mail :
    Place of internship (if different from the organisation’s address): Olympe de gouges 8, rue Albert Einstein 75013 PARIS FRANCE
  • Send the signed version to the UFRL administration office, together with your social security certificate and civil liability certificate (stating “covered for the duration of the internship”).
    The UFRL’s Office will have the agreement signed by the UFRL Director (the delegated representative who signs the agreement), will validate the agreement on the Pstage application, and will return the validated, signed agreement to you.
  • Finally, send the agreement, signed by all parties, to your host organisation.

The internship cannot begin until all the parties have signed. You need to allow sufficient time to obtain all the signatures.
