The internship is to be the subject of a written report and an oral presentation before a jury. The report should be send to the head of the second year and the University supervisor at least 8 days before the defense (strict) (digital copy and hard copy if it asked by the university supervisor). You must provide a hard copy for the head of the second year before the defense.

The evaluation of the internship take account of :
