Please take note: the choice of internship must be approved by the Studies Committee. Students must therefore have their choice of internship submitted on the MPRI pedagogical server before 23 January in order to be approved by:
Roberto Amadio for the students enrolled at Université Paris 7
Laurent Fribourg for the students enrolled at ENS Cachan
Pierre-Alain Fouque for the students enrolled at ENS Paris
Gilles Schaeffer for the students enrolled at Ecole Polytechnique
Michèle Soria for the students enrolled at Université Paris 6
Students must fill in an internship agreement before beginning the internship completing their studies. The relevant forms are available on request at the MPRI Secretariats within the institutions where the students are enrolled at. The duration of the internship is 4.5 months. It should begin around 15 March and may not extend beyond 31 August. The viva voce examination will take place in September.
Students doing their internship abroad should start taking the necessary steps in plenty of time, because the office of internships has to request the prior approval of the French state health insurance office (CPAM).
Students enrolled at the university of Paris 7 must return to the Secretariat a copy of the internship agreement filled in, signed and stamped by the body with which they will be doing the internship. They must enclose a photocopy of their student card as well as a certificate of civil liability insurance providing cover for the whole length of the internship in case of accident WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE INTERNSHIP WITH THE COMPANY/PUBLIC BODY. The students and the body with which they will be doing the internship will each be given a copy of the internship agreement signed by both the person in charge of the MPRI course and the head of the university.
Students enrolled elsewhere must give the M2 Secretariat within the university of Paris 7 a copy of the internship agreement filled in by their institution.

These 20 pages can be (optionally) completed with an appendix, detailing for instance some of the proofs. However, the committee may or may not read the appendices. The report must therefore be readable without the appendices.
The reports or their modifications, that are submitted after the deadline may or may not be considered by the committee.

on the final mark.

The supervisor does not speak French
The student does not speak French
Part of the report is research article, written in English

The writing quality is judged independently of the writing language: writing in English cannot be an excuse for a mediocre language quality.

the MPRI pedagogical server. The reviewer may ask an external expertise and
must fill the formulaire d'évaluation "rapporteur".
