Work placements

Work placements provide students with sound knowledge of the industry and enable them to adapt their plans to industrial needs. EBI oversees work placements and insures its students for accidents in the workplace.

There are 3 compulsory work placements:

  • One three-month placement (July to September) between the 2nd year and 3rd year.
  • This is a manual worker or technician-level placement to deal with a specific problem proposed by the company.
  • A one to three-month placement (July to September) between the 3rd year and 4th year.
  • This is a technician-level placement in an industrial environment consisting of a technical mission. Students may prepare for their placement by way of literature research under the supervision of a professor.
  • A six-month placement (March to August) at the end of the 5th year.
  • This long, engineer-level placement is always completed in an industrial environment and consists of a mission that is compatible with the students' career plans as devised with the help of their professors. This placement, completed between March and September, may be carried out in France or abroad. A thesis on this placement is then presented to the examining committee.
