Internship Agreements

If you secure an internship abroad in a country such as France or Spain you may be asked for an internship agreement, sometimes referred to as a 'Convention de Stage' or ‘Convenio de Colaboración’. This is a three-way agreement between yourself, the University and the host company. See the ‘Gaining overseas experience’ section of the ‘Work Experience’ tile on the UoS Career Hub for details of how to request an internship agreement.
