Emphasis on international mobility provides ECAM engineering students with the necessary skills to understand the role of companies in a global economic context.

This internationalisation involves spending a compulsory period abroad.

All students are required to spend at least 4 months abroad, in one of the following ways:

• « Application » Placement of 4 months in a company : from June to September after the 3rd year
• Final Engineering Internship of 5 to 7 months in a partner company or university laboratory: one semester during the 5th year 
• A year of professional experience between the 4th and 5th years as a “young engineer” in a company 

Thibault de Canson (class of 2010) completed a rewarding internship in the Purchasing Department of Renault in Curitiba, Brazil.

"Brasil is a country that is rapidly developing and is increasingly present on the international stage. It is therefore an excellent advantage to be able to speak Portugese and to be familiar with how people work in Brasil, skills that I’ll be able to use in my future job."
