Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face in a laboratory of the host university or research center.
Recommended or required readings
Since each internship is based on a different scientific theme, specific to the host laboratory, students are advised to ask their supervisor to provide them with a list of articles or books to read before the beginning of the internship.

oral exam
Written work / report
Additional information:
The evaluation will be based on three elements:
- an evaluation form filled by the supervisor of the host laboratory,
- an internship report,
- an oral presentation.
The work carried out during the research internship will be the subject of an oral presentation of 15 minutes maximum in front of a reading committee composed of three or four members holding a doctoral degree (including at least one supervisor designated by the research laboratory). reception and a representative of the Department of Chemistry designated by the jury of the Master in Chemical Sciences for finality). This presentation will be followed by a general discussion of approximately 30 minutes. Discussions will take place in French or English.

Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
The choice of the host laboratories by the students must be communicated to the academic coordinator by the end of October, accompanied by a provisional title and a brief description of the research envisaged not containing confidential data.
The internship will be conducted under the supervision of a research director designated by the university or the host research center and will focus on a specific scientific theme at the host laboratory.
Each internship will be the subject of a written report and an oral presentation. These may be confidential at the request of the host laboratory. The oral presentation will be done by videoconference.
More detailed practical information on the organisation of the internship can be found in the vademecum available in the course materials.
