Internship documents for selected countries
France
The Internship Office understands that internships can still go ahead in EU countries now the UK has left the European Union. However, please note that visa requirements may now be different, so we strongly advise you to check your individual requirements.
Students undertaking internships in France or with a French organisation outside France will require a Convention de Stage. The Internship Office can sign this document in French for any internship for current students at the University of Oxford. However, the Internship Office will only sign an Oxford University-approved Convention de Stage. Current students and recent graduates can download the approved Convention de Stage template.
Please note that an internship must start within 4 months of completing your studies at Oxford (by the end of 0th week of Michaelmas Term at the latest) and your internship can only be of maximum duration of 6 months. Please fill in the details and email internships@careers.ox.ac.uk for a signature.
Current students on their Modern Languages Year Abroad should use the post-Brexit template available on Canvas and refer to the Faculty Year Abroad Officer at year-abroad@mod-langs.ox.ac.uk for a signature.
