Internships abroad
An internship abroad offers many personal and professional benefits. Such an experience allows you to acquire an open mind by discovering new cultures, working methods and professional practices. This immersion in an international environment also develops language skills, often sought after by employers.
Given the scientific nature of Centrale Lyon's training offer, students have the opportunity to perform their internship within an international laboratory. Students thus acquire advanced technical skills by gaining access to state-of-the-art equipment and collaborating with international researchers and experts.
The gap year
The gap year is a scheme designed to meet the needs of engineering students who wish to adjust their curriculum through additional experience in France or abroad. It takes place at the end of the first year or at the end of the second year, and can only take place once during the course.
Two forms of gap year are possible:
- the contracted gap year in a company lasting a minimum of 10 months in total
- the sabbatical year enabling students to carry out a personal project (artistic, sporting, world tour...) or a professional activity
