Hyphenation period
Students: do you want to do a year of censorship?
Publié le null - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
You are a student and you want to do a sawing year? You can ask your institution to temporarily suspend your studies for a period of up to 1 to 2 consecutive semesters to gain professional or personal experience. Cessation can be carried out either autonomously or within a host organization in France or abroad. A decree issued in Official Journal on september 5, 2021, states that work experience can be done in the form of internships.
Who can benefit?
The cut-off year concerns:
- Bachelor's degree holders who wish to suspend their studies before undertaking higher education;
- students enrolled in initial training in higher education training and who wish to suspend it temporarily.
What are the objectives?
The hyphenation period allows you to:
- enrich your academic career;
- receive training in a field other than your initial course;
- to engage in a civic service mission or international solidarity volunteering, an international administrative or company (VIA / VIE) volunteering or a European voluntary service;
- to carry out an experience in a professional environment in France or abroad;
- carry out a project to create an activity as an entrepreneur student;
- to commit as a Volunteer Fire Brigade;
- to enter into an employment contract;
- to volunteer, for example in an association;
- to prepare any other personal project (stay abroad...).
Hyphenation should last a minimum of 1 semester and a maximum of 2 consecutive semesters.
FYI
Starting in the 2021-2022 academic year, work experience in France or abroad can take the form of an internship.
The minimum volume of 50 hours of instruction given in the presence of students may be carried out remotely.
Schools may request a waiver from the rectorate to provide this minimum amount of education:
- remotely, including in digital form;
- or under arrangements combining, at the same time, the presence of students and teachers in the establishment and distance learning.
