Module name: Internship
Module code: W4-2F-17-10.2
Programme code: W4-S2FZA22.2.2021
Semester: summer semester 2022/2023
Language of instruction: English
Form of verification: course work
ECTS credits: 30
Description:
In the fourth semester, the internship can be carried out in the laboratories of the University of Le Mans or in the parent unit in English. Completing the module in France is a prerequisite for obtaining a double diploma. The curriculum is determined by the Polish and French coordinator and pedagogical committees of units participating in the double study program. Each student has a supervisors coordinating his work at the partner and home university. The module (210 hours, 30 ECTS) consists of the following classes: • Master's laboratory and execution of MA thesis - 180 hours (27 ECTS), Form of classes - laboratory • Master's seminar - 30 hours (3 ECTS), Form of classes – seminar During his/her stay in France, the student conducts research as part of his/her master's thesis on a selected topic of nanophysics under the guidance of scientific supervisors from France (University of Le Mans) and Poland (University of Silesia). The student prepares a master's thesis in English and its defence takes place in English before a joint Polish-French examination board. In the case of Polish students who will resign from a double diploma and will implement the Internship module at the home university, completing the thesis is equivalent to completing the MA thesis under the supervision of only one supervisor from the home university. In this case, the module classes are also held in English, similarly, the student prepares a master's thesis in English.
Prerequisites:
All items and modules included in the study plan are passed by the student.
