Those internships will be supervised in English.
This solution can balance the number of students between our two universities.

To discover UBO and take first contact, you can also choose to participate to our yearly intensive programs / summer schools, taught in English.

For example

  • Courses conducted in French (oral)
  • Written course materials provided in French and/or English
  • A detailed summary of the course translated into English offered to students
  • A list of reference works and textbooks in English identified and offered to students.
