Considering this bond with the professional world represents a fundamental facet to the academic and human environment, there is the opportunity for any enrolled on Political Science and International Relations undergraduate degrees, MA in Governance, Leadership and Democracy Studies and the Master’s and Doctoral Degree programs in Political Science and International Relations: Security, to join the internship program endowing interns with direct and practical contact with the challenges of working life. Beyond the proposed opportunity for this first working experience, the program seeks to stimulate students to broaden their horizons through engagement with national and international institutions as well as enhancing the depth and breadth of their respective CVs. 

Given the priority attributed to this contact with companies and institutions or organizations by the Institute for Political Studies, various different means of optional interns with extra-curricular accreditation are provided both during and after their undergraduate and master’s degree programs. These are non-remunerated internships lasting between three and six months and dependent upon a positive evaluation on behalf of the host institution and a final report by the participating student.
