An international opportunity for everybody

100% of students do a study period 

The internship can be carried out overseas.

Mobility preparation

Esaip already has 20 years experience in practicing ERASMUS exchanges. Our expertise is there to help you

4 ways of progressing in languages to help you prepare for a study period overseas:

• by gaining a good grounding in the language then developing the four skill areas (oral and written comprehension, oral and written expression) to gradually master the language,
• through a professional approach(telephone, fax, commercial correspondence, developing a CV, negotiation techniques, job interview simulations),
• through a communicative approach by studying different levels of the language: customs, know-how, social skills ..., with creativity work (advertising, newspaper, real-life situations, role play),
• by a cultural approach and an awareness of the host country's international environment through current events (radio, press, television documents).

For a successful internship abroad you must be aware of the cultural identities of countries and their customs, be able to find accommodation, understand the transport system... so your stay goes as smoothly as possible.

Discovery of the host country and the region with the cultural project 

Cultural project

For each study stay you must do a cultural project individually or as part of a team. This involves studying and analysing a cultural and/or economic subject in the town, region or country where you are staying and sharing a way of life and work with the locals.
Your choice of study subject can be inspired by the media, books, films...
The aim is to spark your curiosity about the culture. The study subject can be a link with your professional field. A written report is required; it must be between 2700 and 3300 words which is approximately twenty or so pages illustrated with slides, diagrams and tables with figures and pictures and must contain interviews and accounts of visits...
You need to give an oral presentation before a panel of assessors.

Practical information

Support from esaip doesn't stop there: during each stay, you have a student liaison officer who gives a weekly report on how classes are going and how well you are fitting in. This allows the mobility centre and our teaching team to act quickly if required.
At the same time, you can contact lecturers or course leaders at any time should you have any problems or support needs.

On completing the study period, a presentation meeting will discuss

• The different study period destinations
• possible financing
• ways to help you look for an internship overseas
• insurance overseas
• various administrative documents

Follow-up

• Assessment visits on-site
• you receive mark sheets
• course leaders give an academic validation of the stay
