Extend or terminate an internship
Procedure for extending or terminating an internship. Should you wish to end your internship early, you need the approval from your host organisation and Academic Advisor.
Procedure for extending an internship
Internship extension must be submitted before the end of your internship.
If it is not the case, you must request a new internship agreement.
Step 1
- Connection to your Student space
- Go to: Student interface > Manage your internships (validate an internship agreement) > I want to track the status of my agreement request > print my agreement, or extend/terminate my internship and print the amendment.
Step 2
Validation of your internship agreement amendment by Sciences Po Careers.
Step 3
Amendment signature; Once your request is validated by Sciences Po Careers, you will receive a notification by email informing you to print your amendment, which should be signed by you and your host organization before handing it in to Sciences Po Careers.
Step 4
Sending by email of a copy signed by Sciences Po Careers, you will receive a copy of your amendment by email from the Sciences Po Careers (scpo.carrieres@sciencespo.fr).

If the intern fails to comply with the obligations listed in the internship agreement, the host organization has the option to terminate the internship after prior consultation with Sciences Po Careers.
