At the end of the 4th year, students who wish to do so can do an internship. The field of activity of the host organization and the content of the internship must be related to the student's training and professional project.
The Master of Business Administration (MAE) straddles the 2nd semester of the 4th year and the 1st semester of the 5th year of the Food and Health or Agronomy and Agro-industries engineering program.
Thanks to a framework contract signed with the UPJV (Université de Picardie Jules-Verne), you have the possibility of completing your Agronomy and Agro-industries engineering course with a Master's degree in Business Administration (MAE).
The courses, focused on disciplines related to business management, are taught on Saturdays by teachers and temporary employees of the IAE of Amiens and train you for management missions.
A supplement, corresponding to the costs of registration and logistics, will be required.
