Is it still possible for MiM students to do an internship in France or elsewhere? If so, what could be the duration of the internship?

Yes, students are expected to complete between 20 and 36 weeks of work experience to graduate so there are plenty of opportunities to do an internship in France, the EU or elsewhere.

Each job or internship must have a minimum of 8 weeks. Previous experience can be taken into consideration for up to 16 weeks maximum. You need to gain a minimum of 20 weeks of professional experience during your Master studies. Local career service teams will help you find internships. 

Located on each of the six ESCP campuses, the Careers Service provides students with the advice, data and tools to connect you to companies.

• Internship offers: 20,000 / year
• Job opportunities: 30,000 / year

Could the MiM be paired with an apprenticeship program?

Yes, students from the European Union and under 30 are eligible. Employment must be in a company governed under French law; therefore students must have a sound knowledge of French. 2 formats are possible: 18 months and 14 months.

What are the possibilities for students to get scholarships or financial aid?
